# Extract Attachments
|
|
|
|
Pull out every embedded attachment from one or more PDF files. All extracted files are bundled into a single ZIP archive for download.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. Upload one or more PDF files that contain embedded attachments.
|
|
2. Click **Extract Attachments**.
|
|
3. The tool scans each PDF for document-level and page-level attachments.
|
|
4. All found files are packaged into a ZIP archive and downloaded automatically.
|
|
5. A status message confirms how many attachments were found and their total size.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Batch extraction from multiple PDFs at once
|
|
- Extracts both document-level and page-level attachments
|
|
- Outputs a single ZIP file containing all extracted files
|
|
- Displays total attachment count and combined file size
|
|
- Clear status messages if no attachments are found
|
|
|
|
## Use Cases
|
|
|
|
- Recovering data files embedded in a report PDF
|
|
- Pulling image assets out of a portfolio or specification document
|
|
- Extracting supplementary materials from training or compliance PDFs
|
|
- Auditing what files are embedded inside a batch of PDFs
|
|
|
|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
- If the tool reports no attachments, the PDF may contain embedded images or form data instead -- those are not file attachments. Use [Extract Images](./extract-images) for embedded images.
|
|
- When processing multiple PDFs, all attachments from every file end up in one ZIP. File names are preserved from the original embeddings.
