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

Sorry, but I would need a solution, or at least to know if there's nothing to do.

Any hints?

Thanks

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.)

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

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

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. 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. (Annabel Chong)

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

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
