Using Attachments in Earlier Versions of Acrobat
If a user working with Acrobat versions 5 or 6 opens a PDF document containing attachments, an
information dialog box describing the attachments displays before the file opens. In Acrobat 5 or 6, choose

according to their locations. Document file attachments are listed first followed by those attached as file
comments listed by page number.
