For example, a document that displays large tables of data might also provide the reader with a matching Excel spreadsheet to work with. PDF's file attachment feature is an open-ended mechanism for packing any electronic file into a PDF like this. These attachments can be associated with the overall document or with individual pages. You can unpack PDF attachments to your disk using Acrobat, Reader, or this unpack-pdf-attachments package. After unpacking an attachment, you can view and manipulate it independently from the PDF document. einfachArchiv is a German SaaS product to organize your documents in one place and meet all legal requirements. You'll find us [on our website](https://www.einfacharchiv.com). Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) Behind the scenes this package leverages [PDFtk](https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit). You can verify if the binary is installed on your system by running this command: ``` which pdftk ``` If it is installed, it will return the path to the binary. To install the binary you can use this command on Ubuntu or Debian: ``` sudo snap install pdftk ``` Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install this package via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org). Run the following command: ``` composer require einfacharchiv/unpack-pdf-attachments ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Unpacking attachments from a PDF is easy. By default, this package unpacks all PDF attachments into the same directory. ``` (new Pdf()) ->setPdf('document.pdf') ->unpack(); ``` Or easier: ``` Pdf::unpackAttachments('document.pdf'); ``` Sometimes you may want to use [pdftk options](https://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-man-page). To do so you can set them up using the `setOptions` method. ``` (new Pdf()) ->setPdf('document.pdf') ->setOptions(['output tmp']) ->unpack(); ``` Or as the second parameter to the `unpackAttachments` static method: ``` Pdf::unpackAttachments('document.pdf', ['output tmp']); ``` If the `pdftk` command is located elsewhere, pass its binary path to the constructor: ``` (new Pdf('/snap/bin/pdftk')) ->setPdf('document.pdf') ->unpack(); ``` Or as the third parameter to the `unpackAttachments` static method: ``` Pdf::unpackAttachments('document.pdf', [], '/snap/bin/pdftk'); ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are **welcome**. We accept contributions via Pull Requests on [Github](https://github.com/einfachArchiv/unpack-pdf-attachments). Find yourself stuck using the package? Found a bug? Do you have general questions or suggestions for improvement? Feel free to [create an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/einfachArchiv/unpack-pdf-attachments/issues), we'll try to address it as soon as possible.
