Ok i figured out the root of the problem. For Adobe there is a difference between
a) An attachment somewhere on a specific page writer.addAnnotation(PdfAnnotation.createFileAttachment(writer, new Rectangle(100f, 650f, 150f, 700f), "This is some text", "some text".getBytes(), null, "some2.txt")); b) An attachment attached to the PDF writer.addFileAttachment("This is some text", "some text".getBytes(), null, "some.txt"); Method b) will enable the Save Dialog in the Attachment Pane, whereas a) will not. The only way to issue a save is rightclick on the annotation hotspot. I did not find an option to actually reproduce a hotspot with attachment link like a) in adobe acrobat to see if the pdf performs the same... Whats the difference between the two ? I want a reference in my pdf and the save button should work in the attachment pane... --- Harakiri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just noticed something odd - if i create a blank > pdf > using Adobe Prof 8.1 and then use itext PdfStamper > to > add an attachment, then the Save Attachment Dialog > is > enabled ! > > What that means is that there seem to specific data > related to the pdf itself - it has nothing todo with > annotations - if itext would simply copy the > structure > of a blank document created by acrobat then it > should > work with new documents too i guess. > > > > --- Harakiri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Thanks Bruno for your answer. > > > > Do you happend to know how/who contact at adobe > > ([EMAIL PROTECTED] obviously will not work for > this > > specific question). > > > > I will attach a sample pdf created by adobe prof > 8.1 > > - > > maybe you can see through a hexeditor if they have > a > > special attribute ? > > > > > > --- Bruno Lowagie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Harakiri wrote: > > > > I've installed the adobe prof. 8 trial and > > created > > > a > > > > blank pdf with an attachment.
