Add Attachments to a PDF

A PDF can carry other files inside it. Embedding keeps a document and its supporting data together as one object, so the spreadsheet behind a report cannot be separated from it in transit.

How to Add Attachments to a PDF

  1. Upload the PDF.
  2. Add the files to embed.
  3. Save, then download the PDF with its attachments.

When you would use this

  • Shipping a report with the spreadsheet its figures came from.
  • Keeping a signed contract together with its annexures.
  • Bundling source data with an archived record.

Questions

Can any file type be attached?

Generally yes, though some readers and mail systems block executables.

Does it increase file size?

Yes, by roughly the size of the attachments.

Will PDF/A allow attachments?

PDF/A-3 permits them. Earlier profiles restrict or forbid them.

Need this at scale?

These tools handle one document at a time. When the job is thousands of files, Greenbooks handles document digitization as a managed service, including bulk scanning, OCR and metadata capture, with the output loaded into DocuVenta DMS. Talk to us about volume work.
