Remarks
A PDF file can refer to the contents of another file by using a file specification (PDF 1.1), which can take either of two forms:
- A simple file specification gives just the name of the target file in a standard format, independent of the naming conventions of any particular file system. It can take the form of either a string or a dictionary
- A full file specification includes information related to one or more specific file systems.
Although the file designated by a file specification is normally external to the PDF file referring to it, PDF 1.3 permits a copy of the external file to be embedded within the referring PDF file, allowing its contents to be stored or transmitted along with the PDF file. However, embedding a file does not change the presumption that it is external to the PDF file. Consequently, to ensure that the PDF file can be processed correctly, it may be necessary to copy its embedded files back into a local file system.
