Hi Pablo and Rik

many thanks, much appreciated.

attachment works like a charm to include the source files in the delivered PDF.

Rik pointed me to the longterm archive standard, which is also desirable. PDF/A is possible with  setupbackend\setupbackend[format={pdf/a-3a}]

but needs fixing with acrobat-preflight to pass validation (in Acrobat and veraPDF).

Kind regards
Heinrich

Hi there

just a quick question: 

Is there a command or package to embed the source-file (*.tex) into the
resulting pdf-file,

Hi Heinrich,

I think this may be what you need:

 \setupinteraction[state=start]
 \attachment[file=\jobname.tex]
 \starttext
 \input zapf
 \stoptext

just like in LaTeX using package »embedall«

I think it is way better that you explain what you want to achieve.

I’d say that not all ConTeXt users are also proficient in LaTeX. In my
case, I haven’t use it for more than a decade.

I hope it helps,

Pablo
