Broad attachment discovery
Checks document name trees, PDF associated-file arrays, and file-attachment annotations on every page.
Find and download files embedded inside a PDF, including document attachments, associated files, and file-annotation attachments.
Checks document name trees, PDF associated-file arrays, and file-attachment annotations on every page.
Decodes supported PDF stream filters and downloads the embedded file bytes without converting their content.
Extraction and ZIP creation run locally. Files are downloaded as data and never previewed or executed by the tool.
Check access, supported files, limits, and processing before choosing a document.
The core task does not require an account.
A PDF can contain complete files inside the document package, appearing in an attachments panel or connected to a paperclip-style file annotation. Common examples include spreadsheets, XML invoice data, source documents, images, and supporting evidence — all extractable individually or as a ZIP.
Extract PDF Attachments is a browser-based tool that lets you download files embedded inside a PDF. Choose PDF, use the controls above to configure the result, then download or use the resulting Embedded files or ZIP. The core workflow runs locally in your browser without an application document-processing request. See formats, limits, and processing.

EditPDF AI checks the document embedded-files name tree, associated-file arrays, and page file annotations. It decodes supported embedded-file streams and lets you download the original bytes individually or package multiple files into a ZIP. The PDF itself is never changed.
Common ways people use this tool in real documents and day-to-day workflows.
Recover XML, CSV, spreadsheet, or receipt data packaged inside invoice and archival PDF files.
Collect supporting documents, exhibits, and evidence embedded in a PDF without manually opening every attachment annotation.
Retrieve source images, data files, and other assets included with a delivered PDF package.
Extract supplementary datasets and source materials stored as PDF associated files or standard attachments.
Download files embedded inside a PDF.
Accepts PDF and produces Embedded files or ZIP. Up to 100 MB — up to 500 attachments, 200 MB per file, 300 MB total extracted data
Core tool with browser-based document processing.
Select a PDF up to 100 MB. The document is read locally and remains unchanged.
The tool scans document attachments, associated files, and file annotations, then shows each filename, size, declared type, and source.
Download one file at a time or create a ZIP for multiple attachments. Filenames are sanitized, but unknown extracted files should still be scanned before opening.
Confirm that your file is supported and understand how this tool handles document data.
PDF inspection, stream decoding, and ZIP creation run locally in your browser without an application document-processing request.
Open this comparison if you are deciding between the browser workflow and a manual process.
Open every page manually looking for a paperclip icon or attachments panel.
Scans embedded files, associated files, and page attachments automatically.
Save each attachment one at a time, renaming as you go.
Download every attachment at once as a single ZIP file.
Open an unfamiliar embedded file straight from the PDF viewer.
Review filename, size, and declared type before downloading anything.
