Acrobat file doesn't embed attachments

[Debbie226287206u09]

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?

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?

@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.
