There are two ways to add a PDF file to an article. The article itself consists of a PDF document, or you add a PDF file to an article as an attachment.
So, instead of writing an article yourself, you can also upload a PDF file. This is very useful if you already have certain information available as a PDF, so you don't have to type or copy any information.
PDF file as an article
When creating a new article, you will be asked whether you want to write the article in the text editor, or upload a PDF file. If you go for the PDF option, you will be able to select and upload a PDF file.
After clicking 'Save', the article opens in PDF viewer. You can not type any text in the article, but you can add attachments.
When the reader opens the article, the PDF file opens automatically, and can be viewed right away.
PDF file as an attachment
You can also add a (PDF) file as an attachment to an article you created with the text editor. The reader will have to open the file separately to view, similar to an attachment in an email. To add a PDF file as an attachment, follow the next steps:
Navigate to 'New article' and choose to create a new article using the text editor.
Now click '+Attachment' above the article.
Select the file you wish to attach to the article. You can add multiple files and file types.
The file has now been attached to the article!
The reader will find the file by clicking the 'Attachment' button. Here the reader can download the attached file. As an 'Admin' or 'Manager', you can also delete the file from here.
