One of the widely used features of the PDF format is its capability to embed video, images, and various file attachments such as office documents (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX etc.). With AssistMyTeam PDF Studio plug-in, you have quick access to these embedded files present in your PDFs right in your Windows Explorer. Just select ‘Insert, Extract, Remove Files from Pdf‘ from the context menu.
With the PDF plug-in for Windows Explorer, you can access the ‘Attachments’ feature to add new files as attachments, select and extract existing attachments from the PDF, or delete them entirely depending on your need; essentially, managing additional files embedded within the PDF document itself.
Extracting attachments from PDF
From the Attachments utility, select a particular attachment to highlight from the list and click ‘Extract‘ button to save that attachment as file in your disk. To export all the attachments from the PDF to your disk in one go, click ‘Extract All‘.
Removing attachments from PDF
From the Attachments utility, select a particular attachment to highlight from the list and click ‘Delete‘ button to remove that attachment from the PDF document permanently. As this is an action that cannot be undone, you will be prompted for final confirmation.
Inserting new files as attachments to the PDF
From the Attachments utility, under ‘Insert new files to PDF’ section in the lower bottom, click ‘Insert files…‘ button to choose files from your computer that you want to embed into the PDF document as attachments.
Additionally, you can add description to each file to be embedded so that it appeared in PDF reader software when the attachment is accessed. This is done by selecting and highlighting the particular file from the list and clicking ‘Edit…‘ button.
And then click ‘Save Pdf‘ button to commit and save the PDF document with the chosen files as embedded attachments.
