Add Attachments
Put other files inside a PDF: spreadsheets, pictures, source files. Attach them to the whole document or pin them to pages. Runs in your browser.
About This Tool
Add Attachments puts other files inside a PDF: spreadsheets, images, source files, anything. They travel with the PDF and can be taken out again later.
A file can go with the whole document, where a PDF program lists it in its attachments panel, or be pinned to pages you name, where it shows as a small paper clip in the top-left corner of each of those pages. A file pinned to several pages is in the PDF once. Files that were attached already stay, and a new file whose name one of them has is attached under a name of its own, such as report (2).csv. The rest of the PDF, bookmarks and form fields included, is left as it was.
To get at the files, a reader needs a PDF program that shows attachments; not every viewer does. Everything happens in your browser; the files are not uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions
What file types can be attached?
Any type, and each file goes in as it is. A password-protected PDF added as an attachment stays protected: its password is not asked for.
Is there a size limit?
Each file, the PDF and every attachment, can be up to 200 MB, and up to 50 attachments can be added at a time. The total is not checked.
Can recipients extract attachments?
Yes, with a PDF program that shows attachments; not every viewer does. Extract Attachments on this site lists them and saves them.
