Add comments in a file attachment

Use the Attach File As Comment tool to embed a file at a selected location in a PDF, so that the reader can open it for viewing. By adding attachments as a comment, you can reference longer documents that can’t easily be pasted into a pop-up note or text box. If you move the PDF to a new location, the embedded file automatically goes with it. To view an attachment, the reader must have an application installed that can open the attachment.

Important: Be sure to use the Attach A File As A Comment tool in the Comment & Markup toolbar when attaching files for a document review. Document-level file attachments that you attach using the paper clip icon (Attach A File tool) from the File toolbar aren’t tracked with other comments in a review workflow and may cause your attached comments to be lost.
  1. Choose Tools > Comment & Markup > Attach A File As A Comment Tool .
  2. Click in the PDF where you want to place the attachment.
  3. Select the file that you want to attach, and then click Select. If you’re attaching a PDF, you can highlight areas of interest in the file using comments.
  4. In the Properties dialog box, select the settings for the file icon that appears in the PDF, and then click Close.

    The comment attachment appears in the Attachments tab with a page number indicating its location.

    Note: To delete the attachment, right-click/Control-click the attached comment icon, and choose Delete.
