The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: attachfile Version number: 1.5 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/attachfile Summary description: Attach arbitrary files to a PDF document License type: lppl Announcement text:
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. Version 1.5 of attachfile is a minor update that enables macro expansion in the attachment filename. For example, an author can now use \jobname in the name of a file to attach.
