    Best Practice for PDFs

    What is the best practice for PDFs in an Umbraco site?  Must PDFs be uploaded into the media library?  Is there a way to upload them while creating content or must the PDFs be preloaded?  Would it make sense to create a wrapper content node and embed the PDF or is it best to just link directly to the PDF in the media library?

    Hi,

    Normally I use an Upload field in the content Itemto upload a pdf, which can be directly accessed from XSLT. Think that is better for a user since they don't have to upload the pdf first in Media and later create a content Item that uses the pdf

    Cheers,

    Richard

    Is there a way to add an upload control to the rich text editor rather than or in addition to the insert image picker?

    Hi Connie

    I don't think there is.

    You would have to either upload the PDF into the media section first and then link to it from within the rich text editor or create a poperty you your node, in which you can upload your PDF directly.

    But then you can't place the file in a specific context in the text.
