Using the code below I'm trying to extract an embedded PDF which I can see in
Reader.  The problem I'm having is the PdfArray file specs = embedded
files.getAsArray(PdfName.NAMES);  The content of the embeddedfiles is an
KIDS item not NAMES.  If I change the code to be KIDS and execute the rest
of the code the refs item is null.  In the catalog a COLLECTION item does
exist, is there an example using the COLLECTION item that will allow me to
extract the embedded PDF.

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(filename);
        PdfDictionary root = reader.getCatalog();
        PdfDictionary documentnames = root.getAsDict(PdfName.NAMES);
        PdfDictionary embeddedfiles =
documentnames.getAsDict(PdfName.EMBEDDEDFILES);
        PdfArray filespecs = embeddedfiles.getAsArray(PdfName.NAMES);
        PdfDictionary filespec;
        PdfDictionary refs;
        FileOutputStream fos;
        PRStream stream;
        for (int i = 0; i < filespecs.size(); ) {
          filespecs.getAsString(i++);
          filespec = filespecs.getAsDict(i++);
          refs = filespec.getAsDict(PdfName.EF);
          for (PdfName key : refs.getKeys()) {
            fos = new FileOutputStream(String.format(PATH,
filespec.getAsString(key).toString()));
            stream = (PRStream)
PdfReader.getPdfObject(refs.getAsIndirectObject(key));
            fos.write(PdfReader.getStreamBytes(stream));
            fos.flush();
            fos.close();
          }
        }
        reader.close();
