Adding/Editing Attachments in PDFs
PDF-XChange Editor can be used to view, add and edit links to PDF documents. When a document is attached to a PDF, it moves with the PDF whenever the PDF is moved to a new location. Attachments can include links to/from the parent document or to other attachments, and provide a useful method for grouping associated documents together.
