Add PDF documents to products?

[vision2003]

Hi,

I want to add the technical specifications for each product as a PDF download link.

How do I place the PDF download link under each product
or what's the best way to achieve this?

Please advise
Thanks

At the bottom of the products page in the admin, you'll see a box labeled
"Products URL:
(without http://)"

You can use that to point to the PDF.

1) In admin->catalog->product types, select the product type involved and select "edit layout". If Display URL on Product Info isn't set to 1, set it to 1.

2) enter the url of the PDF in the box I mentioned above. The PDF can be on your website or on another site.

3) The link is displayed as "For more information, please visit this products webpage. " You can change that in, includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/document_general_info.php and includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/document_product_info.php.

Thanks very much Mary!

I have a different PDF for each product.

Where do I insert the PDF URL for each product?

When editing a product the field to add the link is towards the bottom of the page.

The "Products URL: (without http://)" box appears near the bottom of every product page. You can enter a different url for each product.

Presuming you are going to be mentioning the PDF in the Content for each Product, why not include a link to the PDF within the Content information? You can upload the PDF to separate dir. -- containing only PDFs for example, then just use a regular HTML link when making mention in the Content.

Just a thought.

Yes, you can do that, but Zen Cart offers a way to do it simply by adding the URL in the box provided on each product. I'm doing it that way on a cart I'm developing. The PDFs are in their own folder(s). I simply enter the URL and Zen Cart builds the link. I changed the literal used in the files I mentioned earlier (since the site has no products).
