Important:
If you attach EXE, VBS, or ZIP file formats, Acrobat warns you that it won’t open the file once attached

Open, save, or delete an attachment
You can open a PDF attachment and make changes to it—if you have permissions—and your changes are applied to
the PDF attachment.
For other types of file attachments, you have an option of opening or saving the file. Opening the file starts the
application that handles the file format of the attachment—you must have that application to open the attachment.
Any changes you make are not applied to the attachment. Instead, save changes to the file, and then reattach it to the
PDF document.
Note:
Acrobat does not open EXE, VBS, and ZIP file formats because these formats are associated with malicious
programs, macros, and viruses that can damage your computer.
