[Framers] Embedding attachments in FM that remain attachments when PDF'd

[John Posada]

Hi, Steve...and everyone.

I have no issues with the process of placing the attachment somewhere (in
our case, Share Point) and linking to it with a URL...I do hundreds of
these to files on SP and my issue isn't wanting to click an icon rather
than a link.

In this case, I didn't want to do a link of any type because where these
types of files are kept is in a secure location and people won't get in,
though these particular files are not restricted access due to governance
approval. I wanted them carried along in and with the PDF to not worry
about access permissions.
