How to create embeded attachment i.e different MIME types in PDF
Hi,
I'm new to Apache PDFBox.jar
Try to creating PDF which contains embedded attachment as (PDF, images, doc
files, etc...)
Successfully created the plan/text embedded file(s) but failure for other
types.
/*** Sample code tried which add embedded attachment into PDF ***********/
public void doIt( String file) throws IOException
{
// the document
PDDocument doc = null;
try
{
doc = new PDDocument();
PDPage page = new PDPage();
doc.addPage( page );
PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD;
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new
PDPageContentStream(doc, page);
contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.setFont( font, 12 );
contentStream.newLineAtOffset(100, 700);
contentStream.showText("Go to Document->File Attachments to
View Embedded Files");
contentStream.endText();
contentStream.close();
//embedded files are stored in a named tree
PDEmbeddedFilesNameTreeNode efTree = new
PDEmbeddedFilesNameTreeNode();
try{
File file1 = new File("/resources/"
+ "AboutUSHeader.jpg");
}
catch (Exception ex){
}
//file.
//first create the file specification, which holds the embedded
file
PDComplexFileSpecification fs = new
PDComplexFileSpecification();
fs.setFile( "AboutUSHeader.jpg" );
//create a dummy file stream, this would probably normally be a
FileInputStream
//byte[] data = "This is the contents of the embedded
file".getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
ByteArrayInputStream fakeFile =
new ByteArrayInputStream( file.getBytes() );
PDEmbeddedFile ef = new PDEmbeddedFile(doc, fakeFile );
//now lets some of the optional parameters
//ef.setSubtype( "test/plain" );
//ef.setSubtype( "application/pdf" );
ef.setSubtype( "image/jpg");
ef.setSize( file.getBytes().length );
ef.setCreationDate( new GregorianCalendar() );
fs.setEmbeddedFile( ef );
// create a new tree node and add the embedded file
PDEmbeddedFilesNameTreeNode treeNode = new
PDEmbeddedFilesNameTreeNode();
treeNode.setNames( Collections.singletonMap( "My first
attachment", fs ) );
// add the new node as kid to the root node
List<PDEmbeddedFilesNameTreeNode> kids = new
ArrayList<PDEmbeddedFilesNameTreeNode>();
kids.add(treeNode);
efTree.setKids(kids);
// add the tree to the document catalog
PDDocumentNameDictionary names = new PDDocumentNameDictionary(
doc.getDocumentCatalog() );
names.setEmbeddedFiles( efTree );
doc.getDocumentCatalog().setNames( names );
doc.save( file );
}
finally
{
if( doc != null )
{
doc.close();
}
}
}
Any suggestion will be helpfull or any alternate way to add embedded
attachments.
Thanks in advance

You have an error in at least one of the commented-out lines in your code:
//ef.setSubtype( "test/plain" );
It should be "text/plain"...

Could you please explain what "failure" is? Exception, nothing attached,
blue screen?
I just tried the "EmbeddedFiles.java" example from the source code
download and it works fine.
