      Hi,

      I have an Evaluation license and are see a yellow box around a attachments paperclip, the attachment can’t be opened.
      Is this a restriction of this license?

      Thanks

        Hi! Is it reproducible only in a particular Web browser or it appears like that also in Acrobat Reader?
        Could you please share with us a minimalistic PDF sample to illustrate the issue?

          Hi,

          attached is a sample, the attachment only opens in Acrobat Reader; It is not in Edge, Chrome and Safari don’t.

          This is how I attached the file, it’s straight from the example from the pd4ml documentation.

          pd4ml.injectHtml("<div>"
        		  + "<pd4ml:attachment style=\"align: right\" type=\"paperclip\" description=\"test-image.jpg\" src=\"c:\\temp\\test-image.jpg\"/>"
        		  + "</div>", false);

          Is there a way to make this work in web browsers?
          Thanks
          Bernd

            This is the full code used for above pdf:

                      PD4ML pd4ml = new PD4ML();
          pd4ml.applyLicense("xxxxx");
          pd4ml.setAuthorName("yyyyy");
          pd4ml.setDocumentTitle("zzzzz");
          pd4ml.enableHyperlinks(false);
          pd4ml.setHtmlWidth(1000);
          //authenticate
          pd4ml.setHttpOptions(null,"user:pwd");
          
          // add attachments
          pd4ml.injectHtml("<div>"
        		  + "<pd4ml:attachment style=\"align: right\" type=\"paperclip\" description=\"test-image.jpg\" src=\"c:\\temp\\test-image.jpg\"/>"
        		  + "</div>", false);
          // get html
          pd4ml.readHTML(new URL("https:aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/02E1B2F?OpenDocument"));
          // write pdf
          File pdf = new File("c:\\temp\\000018.pdf");
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pdf);
          // render and write the result as PDF
          pd4ml.writePDF(fos);

              We need time to investigate. A few years ago, built-in PDF viewers in web browsers did not support PDF annotations at all (technically, a PDF attachment is a type of PDF annotation). There is partial support now, but it appears that Acroread is still the only reliable way to work with PDF attachments.

                Thanks,

                that’s alright, no pressure.
                We have a workaround and will not include attachments for now, but it would be great if attachments work in web browsers.

                Thanks
                Bernd
