How to Add Attachments in Adobe Document Cloud for SharePoint
Question details
The user wants to know how to add file attachments through the Adobe Document Cloud SharePoint integration and whether an advanced Adobe license is required.
- Product
- Adobe Document Cloud for SharePoint
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to add file attachments to documents stored in SharePoint via the Adobe Document Cloud integration.
- Observed behavior
- The user is unsure of the licensing requirements, and the attachment tool or option might be missing from their current workflow or interface.
Verify whether you are trying to add the attachment using the Acrobat desktop application or Acrobat Online, as feature availability and interface layouts differ significantly between the two.
Verify Adobe Integration and License Permissions
Check if your current Acrobat plan supports advanced SharePoint integrations and ensure the Adobe app is correctly authorized for your site.
The ability to add attachments and utilize full Document Cloud features depends heavily on your specific Acrobat plan, the SharePoint integration setup, and your application environment.
Log into your Adobe account online to confirm your subscription tier. While standard plans offer basic viewing, adding attachments often requires an active Acrobat Standard or Pro license.
Ask your SharePoint administrator to confirm that the Adobe Document Cloud integration app is fully installed, enabled, and authorized for the specific SharePoint site you are working on.
Determine if you are working within the Acrobat desktop application or Acrobat Online. Desktop versions generally offer the complete set of attachment and editing tools.
If you are in the desktop app and the attachment option is missing, maximize your application window, click on 'More Tools', and check the side panels to ensure the attachment tool hasn't been minimized or hidden.
Add Attachments via Acrobat Desktop App
Use the local Acrobat desktop application to add attachments to PDFs synced from SharePoint.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my current Acrobat plan support SharePoint integrations?
