Attachment tool
The Attachment tool allows you to attach a file to a PDF. An icon is placed on the PDF that a user can click to open or save the attachment.
The Attachment tool creates a separate attachment. To embed medio in a markup, see Embedded Media Markups.
Attaching a file to a PDF
- Open the PDF.
- Go to Tools >
File Attachment. - Browse to and select the desired file, then select Open. Attachments are made individually, so only one file can be selected.
- Select a place on the PDF to place the Attachment icon.
Attachment icons can be moved after they have been placed. Click and drag the icon to move it.
Open or save an attachment
To open an attachment, double-click or select the Attachment icon, and select Extract on the Properties panel. A dialog appears prompting you to either open or save the attachment.
