Abstract: We obtain an embedding theorem for compact strongly pseudoconvex CR manifolds which are boundaries of some complete Hermitian manifolds. We use this to compactify some negatively curved Kähler manifolds with compact strongly pseudoconvex boundary. An embedding theorem for Sasakian manifolds is also derived.
