Extract Attachments from a PDF

This pulls out files embedded in a PDF and saves them separately. Many people never realise a document carries attachments, because most readers show them in a panel that stays closed.

How to Extract Attachments from a PDF

  1. Upload the PDF.
  2. Run the extraction.
  3. Download any embedded files found.

When you would use this

  • Recovering the spreadsheet embedded in a report.
  • Retrieving source data from an archived record.
  • Checking whether a received PDF is carrying hidden files.

Questions

How do I know a PDF has attachments?

Use Get All Info on PDF, which lists embedded files.

Are attachments a security risk?

They can be. Files from untrusted sources should be scanned, or removed with Sanitize PDF.

Nothing was found, why?

The document has no embedded files. Images placed on the page are not attachments.

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.
