About This Tool
Embedded files are easy to miss. Many browser PDF viewers do not show the attachments panel at all, so a document can arrive carrying the spreadsheet you actually needed and you would never know it was there.
This lists everything embedded in the file with names, sizes and types, and saves it all out as a ZIP. You can run several PDFs at once, which is the practical way to check a whole batch rather than opening each one to look.
It is also a useful audit step. Attachments are content that travels with a document without appearing on any page, so knowing what is inside a file matters before you forward it on.
How to Use
Load your PDFs
Drop in up to 10 files. Each is scanned for embedded attachments.
Review what was found
Attachments are listed with filename, size and type, grouped by source document.
Download as a ZIP
Save everything at once, organised by source file.
Use Cases

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did I not know there were attachments?
Most browser PDF viewers do not display the attachments panel. The files are there; the interface just never mentions them.
Can I extract from several PDFs at once?
Yes, up to 10 per run, with the output organised by source document.
What if the PDF is password protected?
Remove the password first with the Unlock PDF tool, then extract.
Are the extracted files identical to the originals?
Yes. Attachments are stored as opaque data and come out byte for byte.
