Set the raw bytes of an embedded file attachment

Source: R/attachment_authoring.R
pdf_attachment_set_data.Rd

Replaces the attachment's embedded file data with the given raw bytes. Wraps FPDFAttachment_SetFile. The attachment's CreationDate and checksum dictionary entries are automatically updated; all other entries (including the MIME Subtype and the Desc you may have set with pdf_attachment_set_dict_value()) are cleared by PDFium during the write — set those entries after this call.

Usage

pdf_attachment_set_data(att, data)

Arguments

att

A pdfium_attachment from pdf_attachments() or pdf_attachment_new(). Parent doc must be readwrite.

data

A raw vector of file bytes. To attach a UTF-8 text payload, pass charToRaw(enc2utf8(text)).

Value

Invisibly returns the parent pdfium_doc.

Details

Use this immediately after pdf_attachment_new() to populate a fresh attachment, or to update the file contents of an existing one.
