Adding attachments as comments
If commenting is enabled, you can add a file or audio attachment as a comment to the
Adobe PDF document. Use the Attach A File As A Comment tool from the Commenting
toolbar to embed a file at a selected location, so that the reader can open it for viewing. To
view an attachment, the reader must have an application installed that can open the
attached file. Comment attachments are tracked with other comments in a review
workflow, unlike file attachments that you add using the Attach A File tool. Comment
attachments appear in the Attachments tab with a page number indicating their location.
Audio attachments appear in the Comments List.
You can also use the Record Audio Comment tool to embed an audio comment in the
PDF document. Attached audio files can be played back on any platform. However, the
appropriate hardware and software for playing audio files must be installed. If you move
the document to a new location, the embedded file automatically goes with it.
