Inserting documents

Support > > Use

Documents such as PDF files can be easily uploaded via drag&drop and linked in your Designer via button. You can also add a text link to link the PDF to your page.

After logging into Designer, follow these steps:

Navigate

You begin on the home page of Designer's editor and are thus in the Site editor view.

To get to the desired page, click on Pages and Styles on the blue header bar. Select the desired page.

Insert PDF

You can insert documents such as PDF files on your website in two ways:

Add download button

Click the menu item Add Content or the plus symbol in the red circle.

Select content element

The content menu is now displayed on the left. In the area Files, select the PDF content item and drag it to the page to insert it in the desired place.

Upload PDF

A pop-up opens. Here you can now insert the desired PDF file via drag&drop or select it via the Upload new PDF button in the folder structure.

Button placed

The Download button is immediately placed and displayed, as well as the file name of the PDF.

Settings

To edit the Download button, move the mouse over the Button and click on the Gear icon or the Settings icon.

Customizations

Here you can now add the desired button text in the Text area, under Size, Format, and Button Alignment you can adjust the display of the button.

At the end, you can choose whether you want to show or hide the file name. Then click Save to save the customizations.

Insert Text link

In order to insert a text link for the PDF download, you have to carry out the procedure of the button link first, because in order to insert a text link we need the URL address of the uploaded PDF.

Text settings

To edit the Text, move the mouse over the Text and click on the Gear icon or the Settings icon.

Edit text

In the edit area, select the text you want to mark as a link and then click on the Link icon at the top.

Now go to the PDF preview tab and copy the URL.

Now insert this link in the pop-up under External Link. Under Target window you can select whether the link should be opened in the current or a new tab.

Then click on the yellow check mark to save the link.

Preview text link

The text link is saved immediately, and you will be forwarded to the page view. The text link is now highlighted in colour.

Now click on Preview in the upper area to test the link of the text.
