Yes, it's possible to embed arbitrary data in a resource for EXEs.
See User-Defined Resource or Create resource files for .NET apps
I'd question the wisdom of doing so for the example you cite though.

I am not familiar with Visual Studio(non professional IT guy, still learning Visual Studio), and would like to ask a curious question: when I build an application, and the final delivery product is the exe extension file. If I have a pdf instruction manual(only a few pages), is it possible to attached to application itself (rather than a separate pdf file)? I am not sure how to describe the question better, as we know, the application can have image/favicon, and those images are within application (Property or Reference). Similarly, is it possible for application to include pdf file, so when users click a button, the pdf file will open. I don't mean to upload pdf file to third party website, I mean attaching pdf file inside application itself.
Just a curious question, not an IT guy. The question may sound silly.
