Hi Ardash

If you're having a property named "UploadPdf" on your document type at a first sight this syntax seems to be correct but perhaps the reason for it not showing anything is that it's the syntax for the legacy XML schema?

What version of Umbraco are you using?

Hi adarsh

Ok...then the reason why you don't get any output is probably because that the code you use is trying to match the old legacy schema used in older version of Umbraco before the release of 4.5.

Try using this code instead

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/UploadPdf, 0)/umbracoFile"/>

If you have problems using other XSLT examples that might be matching the old schema you can benefit from using this XSLT converter tool done by Tommy Poulsen - http://blackpoint.dk/umbraco-workbench/tools/convert-xml-schema-to-45-.aspx

Hope this helps.

Hi Ardash

Hmm, try doing this then...
```
<xsl:variable name="pdf" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/UploadPdf, 0)" />

<xsl:if test="$pdf">
        <xsl:value-of select="{$pdf/umbracoFile}" />
</xsl:if>
```
If that does not help then try adding this querystring to your url in the browser address bar: http://yoursite.local?umbdebugshowtrace=1

This should give you a stack trace where you might get some information about what is going wrong by searching for a error description marked with red.

Try to do this to see if it gives you any information back.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ardash

You're welcome.

Is there any difference in the extension call in the working example and the sample you posted previously? I'm a bit puzzled since these two lines seem to be identical...or maybe I'm turning blind :-)

Hi Ardash

No worries, was just wondering.

You know where to ask if there is anything you have doubts about :-)

Have a great day.
