Question about attachments (creating a PDF portfolio)

Question asked by Daniel Guerriero - 4/27/2021 at 8:36 AM

Answered

I'm using the attachments property to add a file using the following code:

Dim duattach As New Attachment
duattach.File = "e:\nada.pdf"
DocumentViewerControl.Attachments.Add(duattach)

And this is what I'm getting:

How can I change the "sidepanel.coverSheet" text to something else?

Also, is it possible to add an attachment as the cover sheet itself (so it will be shown as the main file) ?

Also I noticed that the watermarks do not show when viewing the attachments.

Regarding "sidepanel.coverSheet" text , normally you should see "Cover Sheet" text, either you have an outdated custom language file in App_GlobalResources\WebViewer\i18n folder or your have an old version. Please see here for the latest language files and update to the latest Version 5.9.5 - April 18, 2021.

Yes, watermarks are only added to the main document but maybe we could include a setting to add them also to attachments.

That would be very useful, thanks. I also noticed that when I open any PDF portfolio file, not just the ones I'm generating via the attachments collection, the watermarks do not show either.

FYI, as of DocumentUltimate Version 6.4.0 - April 20, 2022, nested attachments are now supported:

https://docs.gleamtech.com/documentultimate/html/version-history.htm#v6.4.0

Added:Nested attachments are now supported for Email and Pdf formats.
- Attachments will use the same PdfOutputOptions.Watermarks and PdfOutputOptions.FastWebViewEnabled properties
  from root container document for PDFs generated for attachments.
- Some emails may contain extensionless attachments which are nested emails, these are "message/rfc822" attachments.
  Now .eml extension will be added to these attachments so that they can be converted and displayed in DocumentViewer.
