App communities Embedding PDF Files (Documents) inside a Adobe Acrobat PDF Embedding PDF Files (Documents) inside a Adobe Acrobat PDF I am trying to find a way to embed a PDF document into an existing Adobe Acrobat X PDF. I know how to create links to different pages. However, I need to embed an actual file inside the PDF in certain arias, after clicking on an image or link… Any ideas? Edit and convert PDFs Have you tried using attachments? View – Show/Hide – Navigation Panes – Attachments Click the Add a new attachment icon. View – Tools – Content and select the Link icon. Select the text/image to create the link. In the Create Link dialog box, select Go to a page view and click Next . In the Attachments pane, double-click the attached file and click on Set Link . I have had a lot of issues with the Adobe embedded PDF Viewer. It does not show the PDF all the time. It was getting too annoying to deal with. So, I used a standard iframe instead in an aspx page. It works without errors every time. var binaryString = atob( "<%=base64str%>" ); var bytes = new Uint8Array( binaryString.length ); for ( var i = 0; i < binaryString.length; i++ ) { bytes[i] = binaryString.charCodeAt( i ); } var iframe = document.getElementById( "pdfFrame" ); var blob = new Blob( [bytes.buffer], { type: 'application/pdf' } ); var url = URL.createObjectURL( blob ); iframe.src=url; iframe.hidden = false; Let me explain exactly what I need and how I followed the previous steps just to note that is not working. I need several Visio charts that were exported as PDF to be embedded into main PDF file so a reader can double clikc on each icon and the chart is opened as separate file for the reader. 1. I designed a document in Word file where I attached some Visios charts. But they were huge in size. So, I exported each Visio Chart as PDF and insert a PDF icon for each. Everything was OK but the client wanted to email the document as PDF not as a Word file. 2. I saved Word file as PDF. No option related to links. See attached. I ended up with a PDF looking like this one. No icon was an active link as it supposed to be. So, I tried the aformentioned steps. 1. I opened Attachments tab. See attached. 2. I clicked add a new attachment icon. It opened a window from where I could locate and attach any PDF. 3. Then, according to instructions received, I should go to View-Tools_Content. What? There is no such option from the attach file window. You already saw it in the above screenshot. I only have the option OPEN. My menu is in Romanian. Deschidere means OPEN. So, I assumed that first I should add the files as attachments, then to go to View-Tools-Content. Guess what? Still no such option. So, I tried a different approach. 1. I clicked on Edit PDF, I selected the PDF icon and from Attachement tab, I dragged and dropped the PDF file I need it. As you probably already knew it did not work. Useless to say that if I follow steps 5 and 6 will not work. As someone else already described when I double click on any PDF from Attachements tab it simply opens the file. Even a right click on that file will not display any option as SET LINK. So, what am I missing?

Any input is appreciate it. In my version of Adobe (Adobe Acrobat X Standard - the only link related utility I have is shown under Tools underneath the header Add or Edit Interactive Object - there is no "Create Link" dialog - I can add an icon - either a paperclip or a drafting board Pin - but not the standard Adobe PDF attachment icon that I typically use when embedding PDF's in MS Word documents. Ahh! these instructions are wrong! I tried and it failed to link, what did work if you go to: Tools-> COMMENT- > attach file ( you can choose from 4 icons only) but it does embed the file in you pdf Click anywhere on the page where you want the file and the icon you selected will be the thing you will be double clicking to open the embedded document. Hope that helps! fyi: I am using Adobe Acrobat DC They are not wrong. There's more than one way to attach a file to a PDF, and actually if you want to be able to link to it your method won't work. This was the only way it worked for me, even got a coworker who only has PDF viewer and she was able to open all the attachments, when I followed the original instructions nothing got linked. I am having trouble with step 6: In the Attachments pane, double-click the attached file and click on Set Link . When I double click the attached file in the attachments file, all it does it open the actual file. Then when I click 'set link', the link sets to the page view that I am currently on (i.e. it sets the link to open the current page, rather than the file). What am I doing wrong? How did you test the link? I test the link by saving and closing the PDF and then reopening it in Adobe Reader. In the properties for the link it looks like this: I guess my problem that in step 6 "In the Attachments pane, double-click the attached file and click on Set Link ." - double clicking on the link just opens the attachment and doesn't seem to connect to the link I am trying to set. I don't understand how double-clicking on the attachment in the attachment pane can do anything other than just open the link. Have you tried using attachments? View – Show/Hide – Navigation Panes – Attachments Click the Add a new attachment icon. View – Tools – Content and select the Link icon. Select the text/image to create the link. In the Create Link dialog box, select Go to a page view and click Next . In the Attachments pane, double-click the attached file and click on Set Link . AR_1 you are AMZING! Thank you.
