if the link is over an image.

Link to a file attachment
You can direct users to a PDF attachment by creating a link in the parent PDF document that jumps to the attachment.

locations; file attachments are always saved with the PDF.

2 Go to where you want to create a link. If that location is in the file attachment, click the Attachments button in the
navigation pane, select the file attachment, and click Open.
3 Choose To o ls > Edit PDF > Link > Add or Edit, and select the area for the link.
4 In the Create Link dialog box, set the link appearance, select Go To A Page View, and then click Next.
5 Set the page number and view magnification you want, either in the parent PDF document or in the file attachment,
and then click Set Link.
