The idea that one can attach files to PDF's in the same way that one can
attach files to email messages.  Imagine, for example, that you're
preparing a presentation and you would like to distribute the PDF on a
conference DVD, for example.  With attachments, one could include with
your PDF the data or code or whatever you want with your PDF slides.
Another use case (perhaps a bit too specific) is my own dissertation: I
want to include some files (source code, actually) in the electronic
version of my dissertation that people might be interested in.  Of
course, I could provide links to the files on my homepage, but I find it
nicer to have everything bundled up in one PDF.  Attachments are a nice
way to do that.
