As we are working on the already planned and submitted roadmap we will start working on the "Embedding file streams" feature next year. You can expect its implementation in H1 2024. In the meantime please stay subscribed to the item as it will be updated as soon as its development has started.

I fully agree with Vijaya! This is a must-have feature because otherwise your component cannot be used for creating invoice documents that fullfill the latest compliance standards. All other major component vendors do support embedded files in PDF right now and some even have added convenient features to directly support standards like ZUGFeRD, XRechnung, Nota Fiscal Eletronica 2.0, FACTUR-X, etc.

If you want to stay in competition, I can only highly recommend to get this feature rolling since the only option then for us customers is to switch to a different component vendor!

I hope you rethink your roadmap in order to get this feature added in the very near future! There is not much time left we and many other customers can wait for this!

Thanks for your understanding!

We badly need these features to be implemented in the PDF processing library. Otherwise, we will look for alternative products just for this feature, which is not good.

Thanks

Hello Joe,

We understand the significance of this feature for you. It has gained importance over the course of the past seven years. However, regrettably, it is not included in the upcoming release as the roadmap has already been established. Consequently, I am unable to provide a definite timeframe for its implementation. Developing this feature would involve comprehensive research and timely implementation. Currently, our team is dedicated to addressing more pressing tasks, but we will certainly take your input and suggestion into consideration for future releases. In the meantime follow the item so you get notified when its status change.

Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused by the absence of this functionality at this time.

Hi! This feature request is really mission-critical for us (and it is open now for more than 7 years!!!!). Please give a statement if you will implement this or not. If you do, please give an aprox. time frame. Many other PDF libs are already capable of attaching files to PDF documents. I you cannot/will not deliver, we will have to switch to a different product! :-(

Hi,

we have the requirement to generate hybrid invoices (PDF with attached XML invoice meta data). This refers to common standards such as Zugferd, Nota Fiscal Eletronica 2.0, in France FACTUR-X or XRechnung and some other proprietary ones.

As stated before, these are common global or at least EU standards which have become mandatory for certain invoices (e.g. e-invoices for business administrations).

Almost any of Teleriks competitors have PDF libraries that support to add attachment files and to insert the required XMP meta data to the PDF/A-3 file.

With Telerik, we can produce PDF/A-3 invoices, but there is no way to add an attachment file and to add custom meta data (RDF) which is also required to create a standard-conformant document. With 3rd party libs we were able to at least embed an XML file in the PDF that was originially generated by Telerik, but we still lack a way to add meta data.

I kindly ask you to priorise these feedback items since anyone using Telerik's PDF library for creating invoices will face this requirement. Any comment, if there is a chance that we will see these features in the near future would be helpful for planning!

Thanks a lot!

ZuGFeRD is also known as Factur-X in France.

The creation ZuGFeRD invoices involves the combination of

Attaching a XML invoice file to PDF/A-3b compliant file and a XMP metadata.

The XMP metadata consists basically in:

<rdf:Description xmlns:zf=' urn:ferd:pdfa:CrossIndustryDocument:invoice:1p0#' rdf:about=' ' >
<zf:ConformanceLevel>BASIC</zf:ConformanceLevel>
<zf:DocumentFileName>ZuGFeRD-invoice.xml</zf:DocumentFileName>
<zf:DocumentType>INVOICE</zf:DocumentType>
<zf:Version>1.0</zf:Version>
</rdf:Description>

Hello Joe,

Thank you for your feedback. I will pass it on to the team. As much as I'd like to share an ETA on its resolution, currently, none is available, so I would not want to mislead you. Once we resolve this bug, we will immediately update the public feedback page to notify you and other clients.

Once more, please accept our apologies for this delay.

This feature is really needed urgently since anyone generating documents like invoices with your PDF library sooner or later will have the requirement to make PDF invoices compliant by adding meta data (see EUR-Lex - 32014L0055 - EN - EUR-Lex (europa.eu) for example). In order to achieve this, there is a way needed to attach files to/in a PDF file. The PDF specification defines this: PDF - Wikipedia

Please consider this in your roadmap since it is really a ciritical feature! Thanks!

Hi Marcel,

The team is currently working on more demanded tasks and this one is still not scheduled for implementation. Due to the nature of the functionality, I am afraid that we cannot suggest a workaround for implementing it externally. Please, accept our apologies for the inconvenience this might be causing you.
