change attachment icon in comments

I have a document in which I want to attach a file.  I go to Tools -> Comment -> Attach File.  I've selected the file that I want to add, then I'm given the choice of icons that I want to represent that file on the document.  THIS is my question.  The Graph, Paperclip, Attachment, or Tag icons don't really appeal to me - I would like a different icon.  How do I do that?

Thanks,

    There are two ways to attach a file - as an annotation with one of these icons, and “hidden” on the “Attachment” pane. You can then create a button with the icon you want, which would run some JavaScript to open the attached file. This is not as straightforward as using the canned icons, but it’s an option.

      ​Hi @pdellal ,

      Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out. We are sorry for the trouble.

      Acrobat only offers those four built-in icon choices (Graph, Paperclip, Attachment, and Tag) for file attachment comments. There isn't a way to add a custom icon or choose from a wider icon set for this specific comment type. 

      You may also submit this as a feature request, directly with our development team https://adobe.ly/4qoIXbT for their consideration and future implementation.

       

      Hope this information will help
