Opening and saving attachments
Opening and saving attachments is simple in Adobe Reader. However, you must have an
application installed that can handle the file format of the attachment. You can open a
PDF attachment in Adobe Reader and make changes to it--if you have permissions to do
so--and your changes are applied to the PDF attachment. When you open a non-PDF
attachment, you have an option of opening or saving the file; opening the file starts the
application that handles the file format of the attachment. Any changes you make to a non-
PDF attachment are not applied to the attachment. Instead, save changes to the file, and
then reattach it to the primary PDF document. (See
document.)
To open an attachment:
1. In the Attachments tab, select the attachment.
2. Click Open, or choose Open from the Options menu.
To save a copy of one or more attachments:
1. In the Attachments tab, select one or more attachments.
2. Click Save, or choose Save from the Options menu.
3. Save the attachment:
To save a single attachment, name the file, specify a location, and then click Save.
To save multiple attachments, specify a location, and then click Save.
