Problem:
Users can upload and attach files to Experiments in Signals Notebook. Signals Notebook accepts ZIP files as attachments; however, after you export the Experiment by "Print to PDF", you can't find the attached ZIP files in the PDF file.
What is causing the problem?:
This is a restriction with major PDF viewers. The exported PDF files from Signals Notebook can contain embedded ZIP files. However, as of this writing, major PDF viewers, including Adobe Acrobat, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge, don't allow users to retrieve embedded ZIP files from PDFs.
Solution:
As of this writing, Firefox allows extracting ZIP files from PDFs.
1. Open the PDF file with Firefox by right-clicking on the PDF -> select Open With -> select Firefox.
2. In Firefox, open the sidebar.
3. Click on the clip icon to view attached files.
4. You can find the ZIP file in the sidebar. Click the ZIP file to download.
