Dear all, I'm using xetex with fun (as suggested and discussed on the mailing list). I'm revising a previously created document which used attachment command. (the one documented here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ Verbatim_text#A_different_approach_to_formatting_and_code_colorization ) The actual version is here: http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/sw/sc/prd_tSCIRMA_scr.pdf Now, with ConTeXt no problem. If I use XeConTeXt (--> texexec --xtx) the file is not attached (there's the marker, a link is diplayed, but Acrobat says that there's no attachment). As far as I can say, the problem seems to depend on --xtx switch, Any hints? Thanks Best -a- -------------------------------------------------- Andrea Valle -------------------------------------------------- CIRMA - DAMS Università degli Studi di Torino --> http://www.cirma.unito.it/andrea/ --> http://www.myspace.com/andreavalle --> andrea.valle@unito.it -------------------------------------------------- " Think of it as seasoning . noise [salt] is boring .

Sorry, but I would need a solution, or at least to know if there's nothing to do. Any hints? Best Thanks -a- On 31 Mar 2008, at 17:28, Andrea Valle wrote:

The problem is not the "--xtx switch", but the lack of support for the underlying (xdvipdfmx) driver. I googled a bit and found the following slides: http://project.ktug.or.kr/dvipdfmx/doc/tug2005.pdf see page 18 in particular. In spec-fdf there is: \definespecial \doattachfile {\doPDFattachfile} \def\doPDFattachfile#1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8% {\bgroup % title width height color symbol file \edefconvertedargument\PDFfile{#8}% % beware: the symbol may (indirectly) use the file % reference when typesetting the object number; \presetPDFsymbolappearance{#5}{#6}{#2}{#3}{#4}% sets width/height \startPDFsymbolappearance \doPDFembedfile\PDFfile{#7}{#8}% \doPDFgetembeddedfilereference\PDFfile\PDFobjectreference \setFDFlayer\@@DriverAttachmentLayer \doPDFannotation{\width}{\totalheight} {/Subtype /FileAttachment /FS \PDFobjectreference\space /Contents (#1) \PDFsymbol \FDFlayer \PDFattributes}% \stopPDFsymbolappearance \egroup} Something similar needs to be added to spec-dpx.tex. (If Hans doesn't reply, then someone else will have to.) Mojca
Thanks Mojca,

Sorry, please remember I'm very far from there... I was just meaning: the problem is in xetex engine?

thanks, means really nothing to me :-)

Can't follow you here. What is spec-dpx? Best -a-

Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.

[TEXMF]/tex/context/base/spec-dpx.tex is a file that someone should fix in order to make attachments work with XeTeX. Mojca

Any progress on this? As of 2009-04-09, attachments with xetex still
behave as Andrea described on 2008-03-31. (I'm using the xetex in the
minimals.)

i didn't look into it; it's mostly a dpx backend issue btw, not that much related to xetex Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
