Acrobat file doesn't embed attachments

I have a file with multiple images and I'd like each to link to another file, either a png or a PDF. I'd like the files to stay attached to the PDF. But right now when I send the PDF, other users get an error when they click the image: File not found. I have attached them as a comment as I read in other threads, but it seems I am still missing a step?

@Bernd Alheit Most of the files I am attaching are PDFs and it says file not found. Is the "script" suggested here for other kinds of files only? Should it look like this?

this.exportDataObject({cName: "Larkin_Family_Care_App_Slide 1.png.kmz", nLaunch: 2});

You can use this for the non-PDF files.

My guess is that your files are still locally on your computer and not accessible from the receiving side. What are the other threads you read about?

Can you share a test file of yours? (It doesn't need to be a complete file and should not contain any personal data. You can create a test file specifically for us.)

@Abambo Yes, you are correct that my files are acting like they are still locally on my computer. How do I get them to actually be stored in the PDF?
