Frequently asked questions

Where do people find the attachments?

In the attachments panel (often a paperclip icon) of Acrobat Reader, Foxit, Preview and many other readers.

Is there a size limit?

No fixed limit; the PDF grows by the size of the files you attach. Very large attachments make the PDF slow to email.

Can I attach the original spreadsheet to a report?

Yes, that is a common use: the readable PDF and the editable source travel together in one file.

How do I get the files out again?

Use Extract attachments, or the attachments panel of your PDF reader.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so your files stay on your device and are never sent anywhere. It even works with the internet switched off.
