How to Add a PDF to your Indie Website

In this article, we talk about one of our Indie Website block types: File Block

We offer a block type called File block, which allows you to create a text link to a media file, such as a PDF or Word document, with an optional download button and print.

When you first add the File block to a page, it will provide options to upload a file or pick one from yourMedia Library .

The options are:

  • Click the “Upload” button to upload a file from your computer or device.

  • Click the “Media Library” option to add a file that’s already uploaded to your site.

Once you select your PDF you'll see this view: 

how-to-add-pdf

 

At the bottom of the file preview, the file name will be shown as a clickable link with a Download button next to it:

how-to-add-pdf-button-sample

You can click the file name to change the link text and click inside the button to change the button text:

how-to-add-pdf-rename-button

 

If you would like to not have a view of the PDF you can toggle the "Show Inline Embed" off.

You can also toggle "Open in new tab" option to have the PDF open in a new tab.
