Propose a small standard for corrected invoice files and the sending note that reduces duplicate payments and is acceptable to AP teams.

about this task

Open your invoice PDF.

Choose what the link should do (e.g., open a file, go to a web page).
Click 'OK' to save your new link.

A link in an invoice PDF is like a clickable button that takes you to another place, such as a website or a different document outside the PDF. An attachment, however, is a file that is actually embedded and stored inside the invoice PDF itself. Links point to external content, while attachments become part of the PDF's content.

If you attach a sensitive document to an invoice PDF, it becomes part of that PDF. Before sharing, you must 'sanitize' the attached file. This means removing any private or sensitive information from it. Always use Acrobat's 'Protect' features to ensure all sensitive data is gone from the main PDF and its attachments.

Resizing the link rectangle is important because it defines the clickable area for your link. If the rectangle is too small, users might miss it. If it's too large, it might cover other important text or images on your invoice. Adjusting it ensures the link is easy to see and click without interfering with other content.

Yes, you can attach multiple files to a single invoice PDF. Each file you choose to attach will be embedded within the PDF document. You can add as many relevant supporting documents as needed to your invoice.
