File Attachment

A File attachment annotation embeds a file at a selected location in your document, so that after the exportation as PDF, the reader can open it for viewing. By attaching files as a comment, you can reference longer documents that cannot easily be pasted into a sticky note or text box. To view an attachment, the reader must have an application installed that can open the attachment.
