+### Extract Attachments
+
+If you load a PDF that has `cars.csv` as an attachment, you can use the
+following to extract the attachments:
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+```js
+const pdfDoc = await PDFDocument.load(...)
+const attachments = pdfDoc.getAttachments()
+const csv = attachments.find(({ name }) => name === 'cars.csv')
+fs.writeFileSync(csv.name, csv.data)
+```
+
+> NOTE: If you are building a pdf file with this library, any attachments you've
+> added won't be returned by this function until after you call `save` on the
+> document.
+
 ### Set Document Metadata
 
 _This example produces [this PDF](assets/pdfs/examples/set_document_metadata.pdf)_.
