Hello,

if I want to attach a file to a PDF I have problems with the MimeType.

For example "image / jpeg" for a JPEG image. It does not work.

With Adobe Reader, the JEPG file can not be started.

In this list:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml

JPEG is not available ...?

How can I get the appropriate MIME types to a specific file via SouceCode?

Is there a small table? Where I can parse the file extension with the MIME type?

Thank you very much

luet

Show what you done so far.
When you post code snippet maybe we will be able to find where is the

problem in your code.

Hi Luet,

i'm using for this need the function EmbedFile:

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/EmbedFile.php

If you read the description then you'll see that QP needs image/jpg and not image/jpeg.

Try it but keep in mind that not all pdf readers are supporting this feature so i think it not make really sense in all cases.

The other thing:

It depends on your security settings if the reader starts the embedded file. I've tried it with Foxit and i had to change the reader settings first ... then my jpg-file was shown.

Cheers,
Ingo
