File attachments in PDF

Just like attaching a paper file to another with a paperclip, the Attach File annotation tool enables you to attach and embed electronic files to your PDF files. The recipients of your files can see the paperclip icon where you have attached the files to your pages and then open, save and file them away for later use. The Attachments pane gives you a central place to view, insert, delete, and export all attachments in a document.
