Link to a file attachment

different locations; file attachments are always saved with the PDF.

2 Go to where you want to create a link. If that location is in the file attachment, click the Attachments button in the
navigation pane, select the file attachment, and click Open.
3 Choose Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool, or select the Link tool in 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.
