Here's the solution:
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("c:\\test_attach.pdf"));
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
cb.rectangle(100, 100, 100, 100);
cb.stroke();
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 200);
PdfFileSpecification pf = PdfFileSpecification.fileEmbedded(writer,
"c:\\thumb.png", "thumb.png", null);
PdfAnnotation annot = PdfAnnotation.createFileAttachment(writer, rect,
"thumb.png", pf);
PdfAppearance ap = cb.createAppearance(100, 100);
ap.setBoundingBox(rect);
ap.setLineWidth(1);
annot.setAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_NORMAL, ap);
annot.setAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_DOWN, ap);
annot.setPage();
writer.addAnnotation(annot);
document.close();
