Contribute Tutorial

Add PDF Document

PDF documents are an extremely convenient method of providing official forms, documents, or information to your users because they are easy to update and easy to maintain. Any document created in Microsoft Word or another text editor can be turned into a PDF document using Flash Paper (included with Contribute 3).

To add a PDF document:

  1. Type or highlight the text you wish to use as the link to the PDF document.
  2. Click on the “Link” icon.
  3. From the drop-down list, click on “File On My Computer”
  4. Click on “Browse” and select the updated PDF document on your computer
  5. Click “OK”
  6. Identify the link as a link to a .pdf by typing in the parenthetical note: (.pdf) right after the link. Example: A pdf link (.pdf)
  7. Click “Publish” to finish editing. Contribute will move a copy of the file to the web server and place it a folder named "documents" within the same folder of that html page.
