Working with File Attachments
PDF documents can contain file attachments consisting of any type of data. The data in these attachments (also referred to as embedded files) is separate from the page content and other document information. Any external file can be attached to a PDF document. Once attached, it can be extracted to an external file.
PDF supports two types of file attachments:
•
Document-level attachments are associated with the document as a whole and are identified by name.
•
Page-level attachments are associated with a particular page in a document and do not have names. These are also referred to as file attachment annotations.
See the PDF Reference for more information.
You use the FileAttachments and NoFileAttachments elements to specify information about the file attachments in a document.

I can't open email document attachments with a .doc extension. I've made Adobe the default program to open these but I get a message telling me the file needs to be decoded. What does that mean and how do I do it? I have Vista, Microsoft Mail, and Word 2007. Word 2007 can't open these either. Can you help? I have the latest version of Adobe.
