A pinned attachment is a page annotation, different from embedding a file only in the catalog. Choose the page where the supporting file should be discoverable.
Steps
- Start with a local PDF. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
- Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
- Check the result as described below before using it in another job.

Notes and limits
This operation uses page-based credits. Review the billing guide before processing a large document.
The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat pdf pin --help to compare options with your installed version.
