How to add a pdf file to zencart

Im wondering if I could have a little help here.
I have zencart and my webperson no longer is a webperson so I have no clue what to do.

I did not create my site. I only added text/pictures etc.

I am in the process of creating a pdf catalog and want to have it as a link on a new page (which I know how to create).

How do I upload the pdf catalog to zencart?
Is this something I can do in admin or do I have to log into cpanel?
If I have to go through cpanel is there explicit directions on how to do this?
I only go into cpanel to make a backup of the site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: How to add a pdf file to zencart

Upload your catalog via FTP to the web server. Then create an EZPage in admin and make a link to the PDF catalog so people can download it.

I am trying to fix the PDF catalog generator but not really having much luck. I have got it working so it does not give me errors but it is not creating the PDF file. If I ever fix it I will let you know

Thanks Mark...was unsure of what to search for!

bekinky, I am not entirely comfortable or knowledgable about using ftp but I do have it on my computer. Guess I will play around with it and see what happens.

Hi,

You can find the old version here (does not work with 1.3.7):

And OSCommerce has a new version of theirs here which I am trying to get ported over without much luck:
