HasEmbeddedFiles Property

Summary

Indicates whether this PDF document has any embedded files (attachments).

Syntax

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public bool HasEmbeddedFiles {get;}

public boolean hasEmbeddedFiles();

public:  
   property bool HasEmbeddedFiles 
   { 
      bool get() 
   }

HasEmbeddedFiles # get  (PDFDocument)

Property Value

true if the PDF document has embedded files; otherwise, false.

Remarks

IsPortfolio and HasEmbeddedFiles are automatically populated by the PDFDocument constructor.

If the value of HasEmbeddedFiles is true, then this PDF file has one or more embedded files (attachments). The properties of these files can be obtained using ParseDocumentStructure with PDFParseDocumentStructureOptions.EmbeddedFiles. When this method returns the values of EmbeddedFiles and EmbeddedFilesSchemas will be populated.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.Controls; 
using Leadtools.Pdf; 
using Leadtools.Svg; 
using Leadtools.WinForms; 
 
 
public static void ExtractEmbeddedFiles(string inputFileName, string outputDir) 
{ 
   // Load the source document 
   PDFDocument pdfDocument = new PDFDocument(inputFileName); 
   if (!pdfDocument.HasEmbeddedFiles) 
   { 
      Console.WriteLine("PDF does not have embedded files"); 
      // No embedded files 
      pdfDocument.Dispose(); 
      return; 
   } 
 
   // Read the attachments 
   pdfDocument.ParseDocumentStructure(PDFParseDocumentStructureOptions.EmbeddedFiles); 
 
   if (!Directory.Exists(outputDir)) 
      Directory.CreateDirectory(outputDir); 
 
   foreach (PDFEmbeddedFile embeddedFile in pdfDocument.EmbeddedFiles) 
   { 
      // Show this file information 
      Console.WriteLine($"Number:{embeddedFile.FileNumber}"); 
      Console.WriteLine($"  FileName:{embeddedFile.FileName}"); 
      Console.WriteLine($"  FileSize:{embeddedFile.FileSize}"); 
      Console.WriteLine($"  Description:{embeddedFile.Description}"); 
      Console.WriteLine($"  Created:{embeddedFile.Created}"); 
      Console.WriteLine($"  Modified:{embeddedFile.Modified}"); 
 
      // Extract this attachment to the output directory 
      // Note: FileName of an embedded file is not guaranteed to be unique, therefore, we will append 
      // the file number which is unique to the output name 
      string outputFileName = $"{embeddedFile.FileNumber}-{embeddedFile.FileName}"; 
      Console.WriteLine($"  Extracting to {outputFileName}"); 
      outputFileName = Path.Combine(outputDir, outputFileName); 
      PDFFile.ExtractEmbeddedFile(inputFileName, pdfDocument.Password, embeddedFile.FileNumber, outputFileName); 
   } 
 
   pdfDocument.Dispose(); 
}
