Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting with PDF 1.3 (Adobe Acrobat 4.0), PDF files
can contain file attachments -- arbitrary files that a
reader can extract, just like attachments to an e-mail
message. The attachfile package brings this
functionality to pdfLaTeX and provides some additional
features not available in Acrobat, such as the ability
to use arbitrary LaTeX code for the file icon --
including things like \includegraphics, tabular, and
math. Settings can be made either globally or on a
per-attachment basis. attachfile makes it easy to
attach files and customize their appearance in the
enclosing document.
