PDF File??

[pts3227]

This might be in here already, but I have tried to search and have had no luck. I have some forms that my customers might need to print out and fax to us, is there a way to upload PDF files to ZenCart? Maybe to one of the Ezpages or the page 2,3,etc?? Any help would be wonderful since I am so new and haven't a clue.

Yes... just upload the pdf to the "media" folder. (You can create any folder you like if you want to, but as the media folder's already there, use that.)

Then, create an ezpage called "Important Forms" (or whatever you need to call it.)

Here, using standard HTML <a href> declarations, simply create something that looks like this (in HTML, of course!)

Please download our XYZ pdf form <a href="media/pdf_form_xyz.pdf">HERE</a>
<br />
<br />
Please download our ABC pdf form <a href="media/pdf_form_abc.pdf">HERE</a>

Will it work the same for a word document? I'm a little confused as to how to write it. Do i jusst fill in my file name into what you are saying or is there more to it, because that seems too simple. :) Sorry to ask dumb questions, but my html knowledge is very very low.

Most modern browsers will be able to decipher common file extensions such as .pdf and .doc and .rtf ... etc.

So yes... if you have a MS Word document, the same principle applies.

Bear in mind that your viewers many not have MS Word on their own computers, and if they don't, they will not be able to read that file.

PDF's are different, because the adobe reader is FREE and people can download it easily - whereas windoze charges money for MS Word...

Unfortunately I cannot spend time teaching you HTML, but there are many excellent (free) tutorials on the web. Try W3schools.com for starters...
