Hello,

I would like to "package" a few files that my program needs into a single
executable, I have successfully added them to my resources. But I would like
to know how I can access the files directly.

So let's say I have a pdf added, is there a way to open the pdf and access
it (just read access)?

Thanks,

YiFai

You will probably have to save the bits to a temporary file before
opening the file (unless there's a PDF reader API that takes an
in-memory byte array).
