[Pro] upload PDF that displays and downloads

I did post a reply to this earlier but it has not appeared.

The short answer is - yes. Quite easily but only if the file name of the uploaded file remains the same.

When you place your graphic container on your page look in the inspector under the 3rd Tab (Graphic Item).

There is a Type dropdown selector. Choose URL from the options. Change Content to Image.

Now insert the full URL of the uploaded file ie

 http://www.yoursite.com/uploads/fridgenotes.pdf

Without the < and > at either end if you are looking at the web view of this.

Make sure your graphic container is the correct size.

In the same way your download link will also point to the same file

 http://www.yoursite.com/uploads/fridgenotes.pdf

When a new fridgenotes.pdf is uploaded it should be displayed online (barring browser caching issues)

There are other ways to do this for example by using a CMS if you want to change file names.
