See for example #6 and #30.

I read all of your articles, I know the results but I don’t well understand how to it… Is there any change to make with the command line?
make-pdf-embedded.py -b type.exe output.pdf… ?

The exe have to already be located on the computer like calc.exe or notepad.exe or it could be our proper exe?

Cause I’ve tried, I have the pdf, it says “this pdf embeds type.exe”, I have the button but when I click, nothing happened…

Thanks for your answer

But Adobe Reader & Foxit Reader do not allow you to extract executables.
