Hello Team,
I have purchased a full license of GroupDocs and I am currently facing issues while extracting attachments from documents and converting them to PDF.
My requirement is:
- First, extract all original attachments from the document
- Then, convert those original attachments into PDF separately
However, I am facing the following problems:
Case 1: MSG / EML files
- GroupDocs directly converts both the main document and attachments into PDF
- I lose access to the original attachment files
Case 2: DOCX / XLS / PPT files
- Attachments are embedded as OLE objects
- GroupDocs only converts the main document
- Attachments are neither extracted nor converted
- I lose both original attachments and their PDF versions
Case 3: PDF files
- Attachments are embedded inside the PDF
- GroupDocs does not extract or convert these attachments
- Original attachments are not accessible
Supported file types in my use case:
pdf, doc, msg, docx, xls, rtf, xlsx, dot, eml, ppt, pptx, dotx, ics
I would like to know:
- Is there any way in GroupDocs to extract original attachments from all these file types?
- Can we programmatically access attachments before conversion?
- Do you provide any solution or API for handling OLE embedded objects and PDF attachments?
Additionally, I found that Aspose provides better support for attachment extraction across formats.
Could you please suggest:
- Whether this can be handled in GroupDocs
- Or if switching to another solution is recommended
Looking forward to your guidance.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Sanket
