I need a way to strip out attachments after a PDX package is created.

I need a way to strip out attachments after a PDX package is created. Agile express does not let me remove specific attachments and save as a new PDX file afterwards. When I save  the file all attachments are gone. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can do it with Agile express:

  • In stat-up window select to edit the file by click on “No” button

  • Inside into part number/ document number  with attachment need to delete
  • Select attachment
  • Click on “Delete” selected file in right side

  • In the end click “Save Package”  button

You can’t delete attachments from “PDX Package” tab.

Advanced option is to create privileges  “GET” attachments for files need to be in PDX. When user with these privileges  create PDX, it include automatically only files he has permission to download.

If you don’t want them in your PDX filter them out at creation time. You can create a filter to supress all attachments or just certain extensions.

You would need to limit the user permissions that is exporting the pdx to only view types of files. A filter will only allow or disallow the file attachment tab.

There are also other pdx viewers.
