How can you create a PDF, aa XI v11.0.18, that allows you to open a word or excell file that was attached to it

We have a pdf file with some attachments and action buttons to open them.  It will open attached PDF files, but not Word or Excel.  The Preference Trust Manager "allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external applications" has no effect. Works ok with some machines, not others.  The systems in use are enterprise builds so settings are identical across the platforms best we can tell.

Are there other settings that might effect this that are known?

Hi Donm90860755,


We apologize for the delay in response to your query.If I understand correctly, you are willing to create a pdf file that has attachment in it and you can open the file as well as attachment both?

If this is the scenario, you may refer to the help document and blog to know more about how you can go ahead and do that.

Links and attachments in PDFs, Adobe Acrobat

PDF File Attachments « Inside PDF

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Regards,

Akanchha
