Adobe Acrobat not only allows you to create your own Portable Document Format (PDF) documents, it is also capable of embedding other files in a PDF, such as additional PDF documents, images or other file formats. All the attachments you embed in the PDF can be viewed in the "Attachments" panel. Any attachments you add to a PDF will move with it if you transfer the document to a new location on your computer.
