By this you probably mean: will the content of the external file
be converted to PDF? That's not embedding, that's converting:
the original file is lost. iText can't convert Word docs or XLS
to PDF, but it can convert txt, jpeg, jpeg2000, TIFF, gif, png,
and other files to PDF. In some cases, the original bytes are
conserved, in other cases, they are replaced by other bytes
specific to PDF. You will see the same thing in the PDF as in
the original file, but the bits and bytes will be different.

That's typical when you EMBED external files. The external
files are taken AS-IS and added to the PDF. There are different
ways to do this. If you want them to be accessible through an
icon, that's possible, but it's not necessary. All this is
explained in the Wiki.
