/*
 * Associated files:
 * Attach associated files to various locations in the document:
 * - document
 * - pages
 * - Form XObjects, e.g. imported PDF pages and SVG graphics
 * - Image XObjects
 * 
 * The following locations are also possible, but are not demonstrated here:
 * - annotations
 * - structure element hierarchy
 * - structure elements
 * - marked content
 * - DPart (document part) node
 * - XMP metadata
 *
 * Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 9
 * Required data: SVG graphics, image, PDF document,
 * suitable associated files (we use the same dummy text file for all objects)
