Attaching a File as a Comment
When attaching a file as a comment an icon is added to the page letting the user know that a file has been attached. Files attached as a comment are still embedded within the PDF just the same as when attaching a file without a comment. When files are attached directly to a PDF document they are embedded within the PDF file directly so that when the PDF is sent to another user they can still have access to the file.
Note: Attaching a file as a comment does increase the size of the PDF. If size is a concern try using a Link instead that will open the file from another location.
- Select the Attach File tool by clicking the
on the toolbar - Click on the page where you would like to add the file comment.
- Once placed, a file chooser dialog will be displayed where you can navigate and select the file you wish to attach. Once you've selected the file click Open.
- The File Attachment properties dialog will be displayed. Set the
options for the comment and then click OK to place the note on the
page
- Icon - Sets the icon to be used for the file comment
