attaching any type of files to PDF

["Li, Hao" <li...@peacetech.com>]

Hi,

Is it possible to attach any type of files (.doc, .pdf, .xls etc) to PDF in FOP? This is not merging like Jeremias did in fop-pdf-image, but just an internal link in the PDF which links to the attachment wrapped inside the PDF file, instead of going out to the external file.  I know PDF has such a capability. I was curious that if FOP has done or are planning something like this.

Thank you very much,

Hao Li

Andrejus Chaliapinas once started a patch for this but I had some issues
with it and he hasn't followed up, yet. Maybe someone else can finish
the patch.

See here:

Please keep in mind that making use of file attachments inside the PDF
will be incompatible with PDF/A. Just in case.
