Use the Attachments panel to add the drawing file.
Here's how:
Choose Document > Attach A File.Click the Attach A File button in the File toolbar.
Note: The Attach A File button doesn’t appear by default. To add it, right-click/Control-click the toolbar background, choose More Tools, select Attach A File located under File Toolbar, and click OK.
In the Add Attachment dialog box, select the file you want to attach, and click Open.
Important: If you try to attach certain file formats (such as EXE, VBS, or ZIP), Acrobat warns you that it won’t open the file once attached because the format is associated with malicious programs, macros, and viruses that can damage your computer. To open and save file attachments that you trust, regardless of file format, set your Trust Manager preferences.
To make the attachment viewable in Acrobat 5.0 or earlier, do one of the following:
Click the Attachments button in the navigation pane, and select Show Attachments By Default from the Options menu (selected by default).
Choose File > Properties, click the Initial View tab, choose Attachments Panel And Page from the Show menu, and click OK.Save the PDF.
(Optional) To add a description to the attachment that helps differentiate between similar files in the Attachments panel, select the attached file, and choose Options > Edit Description. Edit the text of the description, and then save the file.

Maybe you misunderstood. I want the drawing to be embedded on the form, not for someone to have to click on an attachment. I know it is possible with Livecycle as it has an image field to insert. Haven't found a way in Acrobat.
