Open, save, or delete an attachment
You can open a PDF attachment and make changes to it—if you have permissions—and your changes are applied to
the PDF attachment.
For other types of file attachments, you have an option of opening or saving the file. Opening the file starts the
application that handles the file format of the attachment—you must have that application to open the attachment.
Any changes you make are not applied to the attachment. Instead, save changes to the file, and then reattach it to the
PDF document.
Note: Acrobat does not open EXE, VBS, and ZIP file formats because these formats are associated with malicious
programs, macros, and viruses that can damage your computer.
Open an attachment
❖ In the Attachments panel, select the attachment, and then choose Open Attachment from the options menu .
Save an attachment
❖ In the Attachments panel, select one or more attachments, and then choose Save Attachment from the options
menu
.
If you selected a single attachment, you have the option to rename the file.
Delete an attachment
❖ In the Attachments panel, select an attachment, and then choose Delete Attachment from the options menu .
Search in attachments
When searching for specific words or phrases, you can include attached PDFs as well as several other file types in the
search. Windows users can search Microsoft Office documents (such as .doc, .xls, and .ppt), AutoCAD drawing file
formats (.dwg and .dwf), HTML files, and Rich Text Format (.rtf) files. Mac OS users can search Microsoft Word
(.doc), HTML, and .rtf files. Search results from attachments appear in the Results list beneath the attachment filename
and icon. Attachments in other formats are ignored by the search engine.
Note: To enable Microsoft and AutoCAD file searches, the IFilters appropriate to the file types must be installed. IFilters
are typically installed with their applications, but can also be downloaded from product websites.
Search attachments from the Attachments panel
1 In the Attachments panel, choose Search Attachments from the options menu .
