 * This plugin has the unique feature of giving access to files attached to a pdf.
   However when I tried to use it I ran into some problems:
    1.Links between the
   main document and the attachments did not survive the embedding process: I tried
   various approaches including using a button link and using both a “View Page”
   link and a Javascript link 2. Clicking the attachments icon on the viewer brought
   up the list of attachments. When I clicked directly on these, Word attachments
   opened OK but when I tried to open a pdf attachment the browser page that opened
   said “This file was called improperly. Do not call directly.”
 * I am wondering if there are solutions to these issues?

 * 1. I’m not sure what’s up with attachment links. We’re using Mozilla’s PDF.JS
   library and embedding into the plugin. If the base library has issues, it’s a
   bit outside our control at the moment. I’ll have to do some testing.
 * 2. The PDF issue should be fixed with the latest release.
