Learn how to add files as attachments to PDFs using Adobe Acrobat.

You can attach files like images, PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and multimedia files such as audio or video to a PDF. If you move the PDF to a new location, the attachments move with it. These attached files can also include links to the main document or to other attachments.
