How to Add a PDF

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.

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.

Another option is to take a screenshot of the PDF or use another image entirely and hyperlink that image to your PDF's URL. To do so, upload your image or images to your story and then click on them to get to the edit-image page. Change the 'Link To' action to Custom URL. Once you do that, paste the URL to your PDF and click Update. Your image should now redirect to the PDF rather than opening up in an overlay.

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