How to Extract Attachments from PDF – Step by Step

PDFs can have files embedded inside them — spreadsheets, images, or other PDFs. The Extract Attachments tool extracts all embedded attachments so you can use them independently.

Step-by-Step Guide

Open the Extract Attachments page.

Upload your PDF.

Click Extract Attachments — the tool lists all embedded files.

Download attachments individually or all at once as a ZIP.

Tips for Best Results

• Not all PDFs contain embedded files — the tool will report if none are found.
• Attachments retain their original filenames and formats when extracted.
• This is useful for recovering files that were embedded in a PDF portfolio.
