Hi,
 
If I attach a file to my pdf document, what should I do if I want to highlight certain text to make it into a link that will open this attachment? Thanks!

Follow this sequence

1. Add Link Object to you're PDF
2. Add "Go to a page view" Action
3. When the "Set Link" dialog pops up, Do not press the "set link" button.
4. Open attached file to location you want to link to.
5. Now press the "Set Link" button.

That's it.
