Four files are attached to a main pdf document. Can I add a link or button on the main pdf to open each attachment, without the user having to open the attachments' tab?

Yes, Use the "Go to page view" action on either a button or link. When it asked you to set the destination, open the attached file by double clicking on it. Then press ok on the "set destination" dialog.

Thanks for the reply! As follow-up, is there a way for the parent pdf file to always remain open, in case the reader wants to return to its "menu" page?
