Linking to file attachments
In Acrobat 7.0, PDF documents can have file attachments, which appear in the
Attachments tab. To open attachments, you can either use the Attachments tab or, better
yet, create a link in your document that lets users open the file attachment within the
document pane. You can also create links between attached files, or from an attachment
back to the parent PDF document.
Note: Don't confuse file attachments with files that can be opened from a link. File
attachments are added to the document using the Add File Attachment command. To open
a file from a link, you select the Open A File action while creating the link. (See Creating
links.)
To create a link to a file attachment:
1. Open a PDF document that contains a file attachment. (See Adding attachments to Adobe
PDF documents.)
2. Go to where you want to create a link. If that location is in the file attachment, click the
Attachments tab, select the file attachment, and click Open.
3. Choose Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool, or select the Link tool on the Advanced
Editing toolbar.
4. Select the area for the link.
5. In the Create Link dialog box, set the link appearance, select Go To A Page View, and
then click Next.
6. Set the page number and view magnification you want, either in the parent PDF document
or in the file attachment, and then click Set Link.
