User Guide
Note: The Attach A File button doesn’t appear by default. To add it, right-click/Control-click the toolbar background,
choose More Tools, select Attach A File located under File Toolbar, and click OK.
2 In the Add Attachment dialog box, select the file you want to attach, and click Open.
Important: If you try to attach certain file formats (such as EXE, VBS, or ZIP), Acrobat warns you that it won’t open
the file once attached because the format is associated with malicious programs, macros, and viruses that can damage
your computer. To open and save file attachments that you trust, regardless of file format, set your Trust Manager prefer­
ences. See “Restrict URLs and attachments in PDFs” on page 247.
3 To make the attachment viewable in Acrobat 5.0 or earlier, do one of the following:
• Click the Attachments button in the navigation pane, and select Show Attachments By Default from the Options
menu (selected by default).
• Choose File > Properties, click the Initial View tab, choose Attachments Panel And Page from the Show menu,
and click OK.
4 Save the PDF.
5 (Optional) To add a description to the attachment that helps differentiate between similar files in the Attachments
panel, select the attached file, and choose Options > Edit Description. Edit the text of the description, and then save
the file.
Open, save, or delete an attachment
You can open a PDF attachment and make changes to it—if you have permissions—and your changes are applied to
the PDF attachment.
For other types of file attachments, you have an option of opening or saving the file. Opening the file starts the appli­
cation that handles the file format of the attachment—you must have that application to open the attachment. Any
changes you make are not applied to the attachment. Instead, save changes to the file, and then reattach it to the PDF
document.
Note: Acrobat requires your approval every time you open or save certain file formats (such as EXE, VBS, or ZIP)
because these formats are associated with malicious programs, macros, and viruses that can damage your computer. To
open and save trusted file attachments without being prompted, set your Trust Manager preferences. See “Restrict URLs
and attachments in PDFs” on page 247.
