Attaching documents to existing pdf

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I see the following code, and it works. But I am not seeing a good example of how to attach documents to an existing pdf.

 string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_AsposePdfFacades_Attachments();
        // Open document
        PdfContentEditor contentEditor = new PdfContentEditor();
        contentEditor.BindPdf(dataDir+ "AddAttachment.pdf");

        // Add attachment
        contentEditor.AddDocumentAttachment(dataDir+ "test.txt", "Attachment Description");

        // Save updated PDF
        contentEditor.Save(dataDir+ "AddAttachment_out.pdf");
        // ExEnd:AddAttachment`Preformatted text`

I apologize for not being clear. I have a pdf that has content. I would like to open the pdf so as to attach documents. Using the example code PdfContentEditor is a pdf, but its a new pdf, not an existing one.
So I am not finding an example of loading a pdf using aspose.pdf and then binding (.BindPdf) that function just doesn’t exist after opening the existing document.

If the answer is this line here:
pdfDocument.EmbeddedFiles.Add(fileSpecification);

I am trying this:
var ms = new MemoryStream(l.attachment);
FileSpecification fileSpecification = new FileSpecification(ms, display);
fileSpecification.MIMEType = l.fileExt;
pdf.EmbeddedFiles.Add(fileSpecification);

This works perfectly. Please close this issue. Thanks for all the help.
