"While using 'pdftk' I was able to attach a PDF document within another PDF as a document-level attachment.I am able to see that document-level PDF attachment and I can extract the file using 'save as' in the 'Attachments' sidebar.

The problem is that when I attempt to open that extracted attachment, it doesn't work. Further investigation shows that the extracted PDF file is about 30% of the size of the original intended attachment, and also has a different MD5sum.

I checked with the 'pdftk' function 'unpack_files' and I can see that the file is correctly embedded in the PDF, because I can recover it exactly using pdftk.
"

Adobe acrobat can display the attachment and also save it.

Confirmed. It's a problem with threads, I'm already working on it.
