PDF Wrapper

An Obsidian plugin that wraps PDF files in markdown notes using a configurable template.

What it does

Right-click any PDF in the file explorer and select Wrap PDF. The plugin will:

1. Move the PDF to your vault's configured attachment folder (Settings > Files and links > Default location for new attachments)
2. Create a markdown note with the same name in the PDF's original location, using your chosen template
3. Resolve template placeholders via Templater (if installed) or the core Templates plugin
4. Set any attachment or attachments frontmatter property to a wikilink pointing to the moved PDF
5. Update embed links (![[file.pdf]]) in the note to point to the PDF's new location

Setup

1. Install and enable the plugin
2. Go to Settings > Wrap PDF and select a template file
3. Make sure your "Default location for new attachments" is configured in Settings > Files and links

Template tips

Your template can use any Templater or core Templates placeholders. If you want the note to track the PDF attachment, include a frontmatter property:

---
attachment:
---

Or as an array (useful if the note may have multiple attachments):

---
attachments: []
---

To embed the PDF in the note body, include:

![[{{title}}.pdf]]

The plugin will automatically update this to point to the moved PDF's location.
