Hello all-

Using PLP 2024 on Windows Server 2019. For a current project, I've generated a PDF that is needed for auditing purposes, and QA is happy. (This is a validated Pipeline Pilot instance, and we're validating all the protocols that go on the instance.)

However, I have far more information available than can be easily or nicely written to a PDF and I've been able to add it to a multi-sheet Excel file using the Excel Writer. I know that the PDF specification allows for attachments of files to PDF documents - this has been used by many different applications over the years and Acrobat allows one to do so manually. A number of software libraries (\\\$\\\$\\\$) also support this capability, but I don't have the necessary licenses on hand to use those to create my own little hack solution.

Thus - my question to you - is there a way to attach a file to a PDF that is generated usign the standard reporting framework? We have the Documents and Text collection but it appears that doens't have this functionality either.

Is there a bare-metal way using the embedded PDF generation code (a Java library maybe?) to do this after the PDF has been created? (I'm not particularly skilled in Java, but more than happy to learn. More comfy with python and C#.)

Thanks!

Marty
