I am using the file at https://www.pdfscripting.com/public/FreeStuff/PDFSamples/ImExportAttachSample.pdf for uploading and downloading attachments. But when downloading the attachments the extension is getting lost. So, how to retain the extension? I am uploading files with extensions like docx, png, jpeg, xls, etc

I am open to other suggestions to for uploading and downloading attachment to pdf file.

What can you see in the attachment panel?

as you can see from the 2nd screenshot when clicking on "export an attachment" the windows dialog box doesnt have any extension shown after file name or even the "save as type" doesn't have any type selected.

any solution for the above?
