Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of attachments can be embedded in a PDF?
PDFs can contain spreadsheets, images, Word documents, additional PDFs, and other support files as embedded attachments.
Is this the same as extracting images from the page?
No. This use case is for separate files attached inside the PDF container, not images that appear directly on a page.
Who needs this workflow most often?
Legal, finance, procurement, and records teams often use it when support files are bundled into a final packet PDF.
