+## Embedded files
+
+Supplementary files can be stored directly within a PDF document. This
+can be useful for creating self-contained documents, such as for
+archival purposes. Those files can be added to the document using the
+`embeddedFiles` property, which accepts an array of objects, each
+representing a file with the following properties:
+
+- `content`: The binary content of the file as a `Uint8Array`.
+- `fileName`: The name of the file as it will appear in the
+  list of attachments in the PDF viewer.
+- `mimeType`: The MIME type of the file.
+- `description` (optional): A brief description of the file's content or
+  purpose. This information can be displayed to the user in the PDF
+  viewer.
+- `creationDate` (optional): The date and time when the file was created.
+- `modificationDate` (optional): The date and time when the file was last
