Add comments in a file attachment

Note: In Reader, commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow
typically include commenting rights.

Use the Attach File tool to embed a file at a selected location in a PDF, so that the reader can open it for viewing. By
adding attachments as a comment, you can reference longer documents that can’t easily be pasted into a pop-up note
or text box. If you move the PDF to a new location, the embedded file automatically goes with it. To view an attachment,
the reader must have an application installed that can open the attachment.

Note: Be sure to use the Attach tool in the Annotations panel when attaching files for a document review. Document-level
file attachments that you attach using the paper clip icon (Attach A File tool) from the Tools > Content panel aren’t tracked
with other comments in a review workflow and may cause your attached comments to be lost.

.

Click in the PDF where you want to place the attachment.

Select the file that you want to attach, and then click Select. If you’re attaching a PDF, you can highlight areas of
interest in the file using comments.

In the File Attachment Properties dialog box, select the settings for the file icon that appears in the PDF.

The comment attachment also appears in the Attachments tab with a page number indicating its location.

Note: To delete the attachment, right-click the attached comment icon, and choose Delete.

Paste images as comments

Note: In Reader, commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow
typically include commenting rights.

You can use the Paste Clipboard Image As Stamp tool to add images to a PDF. You can copy most image formats from
drawing and image-editing applications, such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. If you want to add the image
to PDFs repeatedly, create a custom stamp of the image.

Note: The Paste Clipboard Image As Stamp tool isn’t available until you copy an image.
