[erlang-questions] Looking for Erlang code that handles PDF file attachments

[bengt]

Greetings,

I forgot to thank Joe for this very helpful code/document. I apologise.

The main benefit is that it explains how the PDF magic works, but I would like to ask if it is allowed to copy some of the code?
Keeping the original
%% Module:  pdf.erl
%% Author:  Joe Armstrong (joe@REDACTED)
%% Date:    2001-12-14
%% Purpose: Manipulate PDF files
%%          Pack and unpack files into PDF files
of course.
