Adding attachments to a dynamic form

Question

Hi there,
I am creating a dynamic PDF form and I would like users to be able to attach a file (e.g. a word file, photos) to the dynamic form.
Once the form is completed and returned (in PDF format) I want the person reviewing the form to be able to open the embedded attachments.
If this possible?
Many thanks for you help in advance

The user can add attachments by clicking the paper clip icon.
If you mean you want to add attachments through script or associated with a form field, below is an example where a form check box triggers adding an attachment. It adds an attachment with a description pulled from the caption of the check box. My check box captions end in : which is stripped.
//Change event of check box
{variable object in Heirarchy}.attachmentCheck(this, event.target);
//code in variable object
function attachmentCheck(checkField, myDoc) {
          var descrip = checkField.parent.nodes.item(0).value.resolveNode("#text").value;
          descrip = descrip.substr(0, descrip.length - 1);
          //app.alert("\"" + descrip + "\"");
          if (checkField.rawValue == "1"){
                    var cancel = true;
                    myDoc.importDataObject(descrip);
                    try {
                              var objDoc = myDoc.getDataObject(descrip);
                              objDoc.description = descrip;
                              cancel = false;
                    } catch (e) {}
                    if (cancel){
                              checkField.rawValue = 0;
          } else {
                    mBoxResult = xfa.host.messageBox("Unchecking will delete the attachment.", "Confirmation", 2, 1);
            if (mBoxResult == 1) {
                              var obj = myDoc.dataObjects;
                              for (var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++){
                                        //app.alert("\"" + obj[i].description + "\"");
                                        if (obj[i].description == descrip) {
                                                  //app.alert(obj[i].name);
                                                  myDoc.removeDataObject(obj[i].name);
            } else {
                              checkField.rawValue = 1;
