Adding PDF Files to Content

Overview

You can easily add PDF files to either content or product descriptions in Magento following the steps below.

Adding PDF files to Products

• Log into Magento and navigate to either the product or content you want to add the PDF file to.  In these directions, we'll be adding a PDF file to a product.
• Within the product, open the WYSIWYG Editor by clicking on the WYSIWYG button below the description field.

• The editor will open in a lightbox.  Once it opens, look for the image upload icon in the Toolbar. 

• Click the image icon to upload your PDF file. 
• Select the browse button to upload your file.

• In the next window, select "Browse Files" again to surf your device for the desired file.

NOTE: You may see previously uploaded files! That's okay!

• Surf your computer to find the file you want to upload, once you find the file select it for upload.  Your file must be a PDF before you upload it!
• Copy and Paste the file name when you select the file from your device.

NOTE: Your file name must NOT have any spaces or special characters in it!

• After selecting the file for upload, you'll see the file name in the Magento window.

• Select "Upload Files".

• Insert your file name into this code snippet:

<a href="/media/wysiwyg/pdf/Credit_Card_Authorization_v12.pdf">Download PDF</a>

• Exit the WYSIWYG Editor.
• Insert your code snippet into the text editor.

SAVE!

• You'll see the word "Download" on the front end of your site in the appropriate description field.
