How can respondents upload a pdf file or document when making a contribution?

 

Respondents can easily upload a pdf file or document by dragging and dropping this file or browsing through files in the folders on your local computer as shown in the screenshots respectively.

 

After you have uploaded your pdf file, this file will be displayed as shown below.

Please note: At the moment PDFs are not publicly visible in contributions as shown in the screenshot below, only Admin users via the dashboard can view such files. However, if respondents would like to make their files public, a request can be made by clicking on the checkbox next to the statement ‘I wish for my files to be public’ in the screenshot above to send in a request.

Please note: These pdf files must go through and pass the content moderation process before they can be displayed to the public for viewing on your website(s). If a pdf file does not pass the content moderation process, that pdf file will not be displayed for public’s viewing.
