PDF Attachments

One underrated feature of PDF is its ability to act as a container for other files. One example of where this could be useful would be attaching the original Word, Excel or other source files to the final PDF document, allowing it to be more readily updated. Since it is possible to attach literally any type of file, the PDF can also act as a secure delivery medium for sensitive or commercial content. You can just drag and drop your files to be attached on the preview screen and Aloaha will embed them into your PDF.




Files can be automatically embedded into a PDF document with the embedded command attachmentPDF:

As soon Aloaha detects the command attachmentPDF: in a document it will execute it. For example attachmentPDF: c:\test.zip will embed the file c:\test.zip into the PDF.
