How to Add a PDF

How to Add a Downloadable PDF

To add a PDF to your site, upload it like you would any other image. Then, after it uploads, click the File URL button (you’ll need to scroll down a little to see this). Copy the URL of your uploaded document. Then return to your main text editor. Highlight the word/words you want to link the PDF to. Click the link icon just above the text-editing window. Paste the URL of your uploaded document in the URL box. Click Insert.

Some sites will take a screenshot of they PDF and use that as a linkable image file. Insert the screenshot into your story or page and hyperlink it to the actual URL for the saved PDF you just uploaded.

Please submit a support ticket if your PDF is larger than 10 MB, as it will need to be uploaded via FTP.

Adding Your Print Edition as a PDF

We recommend using the service issuu.com to add PDF editions of your newspaper on your website. Create a free or paid account and upload your PDF to their site. They will then provide you with an embed code that you can add to your site. One place to put this embed code is a SNO Text widget or a SNO Video Embed widget  on your homepage. The other place you can put it is on a page. If you create a page for your print issue, it will work best to embed the print edition via the "Add SNO Story Element" button at the top of the edit page section and choose the Infographic option. Don’t forget to add that new page to your navigation bar. Each issue should be placed on its own page — those pages can then be set as drop-down items in your navigation bar.
