Here is a short example, how to do it with attachfile. It attaches the source code of the current file to the PDF and creates a clickable link. Adobe Reader/Acrobat has a tab, where it shows all attachments.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{attachfile}

\begin{document}  

\textattachfile{\jobname.tex}{\textcolor{blue}{\LaTeX\ Sourcecode}}

\end{document}
