# Extract Attachments
PDF documents can contain attachments. Attachments have a name, but it might not
be unique. For this reason, the value of `reader.attachments["attachment_name"]`
is a list.
You can extract all attachments like this:
```python
from pypdf import PdfReader
reader = PdfReader("example.pdf")
for name, content_list in reader.attachments.items():
for i, content in enumerate(content_list):
with open(f"{name}-{i}", "wb") as fp:
fp.write(content)
```
Alternatively, you can retrieve them in an object-oriented fashion if you need
further details for these files:
```python
from pypdf import PdfReader
reader = PdfReader("example.pdf")
for attachment in reader.attachment_list:
print(attachment.name, attachment.alternative_name, attachment.content)
```
