I know this has been asked before but I can't seem to find a true answer to it.

Why can't we upload PDF files to our websites? Many documents are saved this way, especially when it is more than one page, and I don't to have to convert each one to a jpeg format.

Is there any way to get them up here as a PDF without having to convert them or store them on a different site and link them to our webpages?

Thank you

Kathy

Hi Kathy, as a PDF can hold One to Hundreds of pages, i cannot see why this is needed on TP.

Where would you like the PDF File to be In a Story? and if so how many would you be saving, possibly with hunfreds of pages.

Myself I cannot see the logic. Please explain.

You can use a LINK by using GOOGLE DRIVE as you can put your PDF Files here then Link from TP to them, which to me sounds easier and more correct.

If it is just a few pages, as you know these are easily conveted to jpg, singly or multiple to Upload to Photograph Folder in TP.

Regards

Les

Hi Les,

There are many instances where a multi-page document is used - wills, probate, military records, to name just three). I usually include them as an image attached to a source citation, as a handy means of verifying the fact. Where it's important, I use an online site and then link to it, as you suggest.

Hi Ian, if the file is extra long, which sometimes can lead to a bit of boredom, I make the TEXT SCROLLING.

This has Stop Start Reverse, so if extra long, these can be used, especially if you need to go back a bit.

I have also used this as a VERTICAL SLIDE SHOW for Photographs, especially if the Photographs are of TEXT such as BMD,

Related LINK below if you are interested

This is also handy for a long STORY erntry, which can be a mixture of TEXT and/or Photographs

All the best
