The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: attachfile Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/attachfile Summary description: Attach arbitrary files to a PDF document License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting with PDF 1.3 (Adobe Acrobat 4.0), PDF files can contain file attachments -- arbitrary files that a reader can extract, just like attachments to an e-mail message. The attachfile package brings this functionality to pdfLaTeX and provides some additional features not available in Acrobat, such as the ability to use arbitrary LaTeX code for the file icon -- including things like includegraphics, tabular, and math. Settings can be made either globally or on a per-attachment basis. attachfile makes it easy to attach files and customize their appearance in the enclosing document. Version 1.3 of attachfile incorporates some patches from Ross Moore for making attachfile robust to running hyperref with Hy@unicodetrue and for supporting the Created, Modified, and Size keys in the EmbeddedFile's Params dictionary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/attachfile .
