CTAN update: attachfile

[CTAN Announcements]

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the

attachfile

package.

Version number: 1.9
License type: lppl1.3

Summary description: Attach arbitrary files to a PDF document

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 LuaLaTeX 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 1.9 of attachfile issues an error message instead of failing
silently if an invalid icon name is requested. Thanks to
Jean-François Burnol for inadvertently stumbling across the problem and
submitting a bug report. attachfile now correctly handles
the case of filenames with no extension. Finally, the documentation has
been updated to suggest using the luatex85 when using
attachfile with LuaLaTeX 0.85+.
