Trying to attach a file to a pdf using PdfStamper

I have a String that i want to attach either to the pdf raw code somehow or, what i'm trying here is adding the string as a text file to the pdf, this is what i've come up with but it does not work.

Document document = new Document();

String directoryPath = "/storage/emulated/0/Download";

PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(directoryPath+"/Aa.pdf"));
String data = PaintView.full_string_return();
System.out.println(data);
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(directoryPath+"/Aa.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader,new FileOutputStream(directoryPath+"/Aa.pdf") );
PdfFileSpecification fs = PdfFileSpecification.fileEmbedded(stamper.getWriter(), null, String.format("data.txt",data),String.format("data",data).getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
stamper.addFileAttachment(String.format("data",data),fs);
stamper.close();

I know i'm not using the pdfWriter here but i use it elsewhere, just added it in case it is messing up something.
