    Hi Ishan

    There is no difference between images and pdg for rendering.

    Just upload pdf file to Media library and render it the same way as an image.

    so you mean to say as i upload the image with the syntax like below string catalogImage1Url = ""; if (Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.HasValue("catalogImage1")) { catalogImage1Url = Umbraco.AssignedContentItem.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("catalogImage1").Url; } and accessing the image with below line <img src="@catalogImage1Url" alt=""/>

    i can do the same with the pdf's also just have to upload the pdf file in media section?

    Yes, but you have to render pdf file as a link to download, tag is only for images.

    As Alex says, you can't render a PDF file in an image tag. Currently you are doing this:

    <img src="@catalogImage1Url" alt=""/>
    

    You should be doing this, for PDF files:

    <a href="@catalogImage1Url" target="_blank" title="Download PDF">Download PDF file</a>
