How to Link a PDF to a Page
First, check to see if you have the Attachments extension. Some of the older Norwex sites did not have this installed by default, the new ones do have it. If you do not have it, you can email us and ask for it, and we'll put it in.
Look in the Components menu for something named Attachments. If you have that, then you can easily attach PDF documents to your pages.
Attachments is an easy solution, but it isn't perfect. It has some limitations.
First, each item that you attach to a page will show up where the program tells it to show up - you cannot tell it where to show up. The program places the attachments for each page, at the BOTTOM of the page in the front of the site.
We install this as the first choice though, because it is SIMPLE to use.
Just open up your article in the back of the site, and scroll to the bottom, and look for the button that says Attach on it. Click that, and you can upload your attachment right there.
If you go into the component, in Components -> Attachments, you can set some settings - you can make it so attachments are ONLY for registered users, or you can set it so that anybody can see them. There are some other settings too.
If you need more robust PDF document handling than this, we do have another option, but it is slower and more complicated to set up and use, so we usually recommend this as the simplest way to get documents available on your website.
