### Description

Gets a System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary containing additional embedded data contained in a PDF document. Supported formats are specified through the [EmbeddedDataFormat](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/embeddeddataformat/enumeration/llms-full.txt) enumeration. Each entry in the dictionary is a key-value pair, the key is an EmbeddedDataFormat enumeration value and the value is a string with the data in the specified format. This Dictionary is filled only, if the [PDFImportSettings](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/loadsettings/pdfimportsettings-property/llms-full.txt) property specifies the `LoadEmbeddedData` setting.

### Syntax

```csharp
public System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<EmbeddedDataFormat, object> EmbeddedData { get; }
```

```vbnet
Public ReadOnly Property EmbeddedData As System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of EmbeddedDataFormat, Object)
```

### Examples

The following example reads `LoadSettings.EmbeddedData` after the template has been loaded.

```csharp
LoadSettings loadSettings = new();
textControl.Load("template.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, loadSettings);
Console.WriteLine($"Embedded Data: {loadSettings.EmbeddedData}");
```

```vbnet
Dim loadSettings As New LoadSettings()
textControl.Load("template.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, loadSettings)
Console.WriteLine($"Embedded Data: {loadSettings.EmbeddedData}")
```
