Embedded Files & Attachments within a PDF

Hi all. We create PDF documents and attach other documents to the file. They show up as a litte pin or paperclip upon the pdf. If you have to open them on an ipad or iphone, my question is can you view these embedded/attached files on an ipad? Is their an app for that?!
Thanks for your help...

HI Tracy,
It might be possible that the attachments in this pdf file have been added as Annotations which Adobe Reader on iOS doesn’t support currently.
The workaround is to add attchments to the pdf using these steps:
Using Desktop Acrobat you can do that. Follow these steps:
Open the pdf file in which you want to add attachments
Go to Tools
Click on “Attach a file”
Browse for the file which you want to attach and save the pdf file.
Please let us know if you face any issue in doing this.
Thanks,
Ankit

  • Cannot Open Attachments within a pdf document

    Dear Staff,
    In my windows 7 netbook I can open files attached to  PDF documents is there a reason why I cannot open these files within windows 8.1 RT with the adobe Reader Touch? is there any setting to adjust to have this function active or Adobe Reader touch do not have this function at all?
    Is the adobe reader touch staff working on this?
    I am a music teacher and those attachments are very important for me.
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Adobe Reader Touch does not support file attachments.
    Adobe Reader Touch is a relatively new product.  Our product management team determines which features/enhancements/updates to add based on customer feedback and the usage data collected from other mobile Adobe Reader products (e.g. Reader for iOS/Android).
    While Adobe Reader for iOS/Android supports file attachments, the usage data indicates that file attachments are rarely used.  So it is not clear if or when the feature will be supported in Adobe Reader Touch.
    Since your operating system is Windows RT 8.1, you will not be able to install and run Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI).  Because Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with Windows RT.
    Microsoft Reader (the built-in PDF viewer) does not seem to support file attachments, either.
    One thing that you could try is to open the PDF document with attachments in Adobe Reader XI on Windows 7, save the attachments as separate files, and transfer the files from your Windows 7 notebook to your Windows RT 8.1 notebook/tablet using a cloud storage service (e.g. SkyDrive, Dropbox, Acrobat.com, etc.) 
    It's not ideal.  But it's one way to work around the lack of the feature. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • File Attachments are blank - PDF IO Exception

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a Web Dynpro Java Application form that when submitted generates an Adobe Interactive form along with any attachments and starts a guided procedure. Today I'm experiencing a random error (see below), if I preview the Adobe form before the workflow starts then the attachments seems fine (correct size) but once submitted the first approver will get a null pointer exception and the file attachments appear blank. I've used the same data over and over again but it only happens randomly. I can't replicate it in my DEV or  TEST to be able to debug nor can I find the cause.  Anyone know what this error is?

  • Safari (Snow Leopard) will not link to website (pdf) files from within other pdf files

    Meeting agendas (in pdf format) have 'web links' to other pdf files, but Safari says not enough info in the webaddress.  But it works O.K. in Windows Explorer.

    Open browser preferences
    ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions   and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
    or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
    if still a problem
    Quit Safari.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
    Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

  • Security and file attachments

    I've got a form with some scripted buttons for attaching files.
    When I set security settings on the form my buttons stop working and I get the following error:
    NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
    The security settings I'm trying to use are:
    Restrict Editing:
    Printing Allowed - high resolution,
    Changes Allowed - Filling in form fields and signing...
    Enable text access for screen reader...
    I've tried setting security in Designer and in Acrobat but not having any luck. Is this able to be done?
    The file will also be run through Reader Extensions - I've tried this as well with setting  "Embedded file attachments" turned on but no luck.

    It looks really good! I particularly like the last click to agree that highlights null mandatory fields - neat - JB influence. I like the colour scheme, but if it was me I would colour the buttons separately. A green tinge for positive action "attach file", "add milestone" and a red tingle for negative action "delete milestone".
    Yeah, having fun with John's script objects.
    I've started colouring the +/- buttons on other forms, I think it works quite well as well. Definitely want to get into using more colour for feedback. We're trying to get into using more colour in general with some of the old print forms we're converting. I kind of like using coloured backgrounds with white fields.
    Also just a few points (I hope you don't mind). I would underline Program Guide and have an invisible button over it with the full url for the guide. That way people don't land on the home page an have to find it. The url is probably too long to have written out on the form. I think some tooltips would help guide the user through the form (particurarly some of the technical stuff) and this would also get rid of the object names. It is personal preference but Caroline Jarrett's book "Forms That Work" would shy away from all caps.
    Good idea on the url - I'd meant to do something with that but nobody seemed to notice. They opted for supplying a guide vs tooltips and/or popup help...I'd meant to run through it and nuke the field name tooltips but didn't get time - ah well.
    We just got that book but I haven't had a chance to read it yet.
    Maybe the script could count the number of attachments and if the min. is not present, also throw up an alert.
    Good idea - I was trying to figure out the best way to check for the file attachments, but they decided there was the possibility that people might supply some information under separate cover - same reason we didn't make the expanding tables scripted mandatory, in case they left an extra row in or something.
    I wish I had another week to work on it but it's live now!

How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
    Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

    This happens to me all the time.
    If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
    I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

  • Cannot open embedded PDF files within a PDF

    Is there a way to open a PDF file (by double clicking) that is within a PDF file? The file was created in Word 2007 by inserted the pdf file as an object. I am using Acrobat Professional 9.

    Can you insert the PDF file in the Word document in another format to make it clickable in the newly converted PDF?

  • Open Data Object -  Open File attachment within pdf document

    I am trying to build a script which will open file attachments embedded in a pdf document.
    I have used the following javascript to list all embedded files within a document so I can retrieve the name
    var d = this.dataObjects;
    for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++)
    console.println("Data Object[" + i + "]=" + d[i].name);
    The console reported:
    Data Object[0]=MTP-300-X-1210_A.pdf
    Data Object[1]=MTP-300-X-1240_A.pdf
    I then used the following script to open the file     
    this.openDataObject("MTP-300-X-1210_A.pdf");
    Console reports back as follows and does not open the file:
    [object Doc]
    Can anyone please offer assistance in how to open an embedded pdf attachment within a document?
    Many thanks!

    Hi George,
    I have used the same method app.openDoc to open attachments using a path associated with my computer.  However, as you know, the method does not work if the pdf containing the attachment is located on a different computer.  The app.openDoc method throws an error becuase the path is not valid.
    I am trying to get the following code to work with no success:
    var cFilePath = "|" + this.path + "|U:photo.pdf"';   // photo.pdf is the attachment
    app.openDoc ({cPath: cFilePath});
    The debugger throws an error.
    However, if I take the content of the variable cFilepath and instert it as an argument within cPath parameter as a string literal, the app.openDoc method returns the docObject.
    What's going on here?  shouldn't the variable cFilePath work?  Or do I need to specify a data type for the variable?  Any thoughts would be helpful.  I am using Windows 7, Adobe Acrobat X Standard.

  • Is it possible to annotate pdf documents that are received as attachments within the main document?

    Hi There
    I am using the latest adobe reader app for iPad v11.6.4 and  I have recently received a meeting agenda by email which contained attachments within it.
    The agenda was prepared by a friend using the 'attach a file' function in acrobat.
    I can annotate the main agenda document, but when I click the paperclip icon at the bottom right hand side of my iPad, this opens the attached documents, but each time with the message "modifying this document is not allowed because it is an attachment".
    Is there anyway to enable annotation on attached documents within the version I am using, or is there a different version available which has this functionality?
    Thanks
    Paul 

    Hi,
    Currently, the Adobe Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) do not support any changes (e.g. adding annotations) to attached documents, as the message indicates.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
    As a workaround, you could save attached PDF documents as individual PDFs in Adobe Reader on a Windows or Mac desktop computer and transfer them to your iPad.

  • How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

    I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

    The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
    You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
    You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
    You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.
    Be well...

  • Viewing Excel & PDF file attachments in Mac Mail 3.6

    I setup my IMAP Gmail account on my Macbook's Mail 3.6. In the advanced tab of my Gmail account preferences in Mail 3.6 under "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing:" I have selected "All messages and their attachments"
    Whenever I click on an Excel attachment, I get the error message "'filename' cannot be accessed. The file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding."
    Whenever I click on a PDF attachment, I get the error message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    I then tried saving the attachments from Mail 3.6 to my hard drive, but received the same error messages when I tried to open them.
    However, when I access my Gmail account using my browser and download the same attachments to my hard drive, they open up without any problems.
    I have deleted the folder containing the emails containing the attachments from Mail 3.6 and re-synced it with Gmail. While it successfully completes the download of all of the messages and their attachments, the same problem occurs. Oddly enough, this problem does not occur with Word Document attachments or JPEG file attachments.
    This is my first Mac and while I am extremely proficient with Windows, I am clueless with Mac OS X. I have read posts about AppleDouble and Compression, but can't seem to find those options to play around with, even though I do not think that either is the issue. Any help is highly appreciated.

    Sijmons,
    well, I didn' got confused but only wanted to help you with your Altzheimer
    Geeborg,
    I used to .Mac webmail with Firefox on Windows and opened a message with an attachment (mpg). I clicked on the small triangle behind the word "Attachments" and then I clicked on the name of the attachment. This opened a window stating that the attachment would be downloaded. After some time I was asked to open the file with application xyz (I don't remember the name) or to save it on disk. Choosing to open the file finally launched Windows Media Player which played the mpg.
    Can you try these steps on one of your attachments?

  • Add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro?

  • Is it possible to link to specific files on a server from within a pdf?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to create hyperlinks to a specific file on a Windows server from within a pdf?
    Let me explain further, I am working on a Mac trying to create hyperlinks from within InDesign to specific files on a Windows server. I am exporting the file to pdf, along with the hyperlinks, which look correct when I click on them from within Acrobat.
    On Windows, the links will read as \\servername\directoryname\filename so this is exactly how I enter it as the hyperlink. When I view the hyperlink information in the resulting pdf from within Acrobat, it still looks correct as \\servername\directoryname\filename but when I try to click on it from the Windows side OR the Mac side, the link doesn't work and gets changed....the slashes revert to the opposite direction and the whole link gets messed up. I am trying to figure out if the cause is InDesign, Acrobat or whether this can even be done? Of corse, I never have issues with normal URLS.
    What we are trying to do is set up an internal catalogue for the company of all our materials. (Everyone works on Windows)
    Should I try to create the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat... do you think that will make any difference?
    Thanks in advance for your help:)
    Very much appreciated!
    Christine

    Thank you for your help...very much appreciated!
    Basically, what we needed were for the links to be static and not relative, and they were mainly for Windows users. What finally worked was creating the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat. We plan to email the final pdf to several employees around the word (we are an international company) with all the links intact. Once they were logged into our network (vpn'd in) the links would still be valid no matter where the document was located. The trick is to change the start of the link to a specific IP address (the server address) when you are setting it up in Acrobat. I hope this makes sense and is helpful for everyone else out there:)
    (P.S. This works for Windows users only though and cannot be done via the Mac version of Acrobat. I can set things up within the Mac version of Acrobat so that the links will work as long as the document resides in the same location on the server... the advantage to doing it THIS way is that it will work for BOTH Mac and Windows users.)
    Thanks again,
    Christine
