Hi there just a quick question: Is there a command or package to embed the source-file (*.tex) into the resulting pdf-file, just like in LaTeX using package »embedall« https://mirror.las.iastate.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/embedall/emb...? Many thanks and kind regards Heinrich

You are looking for attachment https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/_attachment. Note that the resulting pdf will not pass PDF/A validation, or at least, it did not at the last time I tested it a year ago. -- Rik

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

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 Sent from my iPhone
