Re: [iText-questions] SOLVED How to Enable "Save Attachment" Dialog in Adobe
Hello Leonard, you are refering to PdfAction(String application, String parameters, String operation, String defaultDir) Launchs an application or a document. However, how does this apply to embedded attachments ? When i use pdfWriter.addAttachment(...) i have no reference to the attachment in any dictionary. Can you please elaborate your point with an example ? Thanks alot for your help.

Yes, you can use the Launch action to also open up attachments.

Re: [iText-questions] SOLVED How to Enable "Save Attachment" Dialog in Adobe
Thanks Bruno, i know about GOTOE - sadly this is not supported in Adobe Reader below 7.0. The whole point of showing attachments on pages with hotspots was - that there is no viewer preferences for the attachment pane below A.R. 7.0 - because there isnt an attachment pane at all for 6.0 for example - so users who are using this older client have no knowledge where to search for attachments. Any other ideas ? (Adobe does check for its versions exactly for the problem described above with some user javascript to tell the user where to find attachments when using Acrobat 8.1 - it will open a javascript popup and say there are attachments which you can find in version X there, and in version Y there) --- Bruno Lowagie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Harakiri wrote: > > > Whats the difference between the two ?

Re: [iText-questions] SOLVED How to Enable "Save Attachment" Dialog in Adobe
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...
