    include a PDF file in product description

    I would like to have a click through option on a product to enable the user to download a small pdf file

    How do I do it please?

    Hi Chris,

    we have done this on our site by using a customvar and a button on the extended information page for each product (but you could include this wherever you want)

    To do this, go to Advanced | Custom Properties and add a new property for your download.

    Go to your product and in the Properties tab add a new line. Select your custom field, add the file name as the value, check Use as CUSTOMVAR and File name boxes

    On the template page you wish your button/link to appear add your link code, for example (where your custom field is called PAGE):

    <a href="CUSTOMVAR:PAGE" target="new">
    <img src="pdf1.gif" alt="View sample page" border=0>
    </a>

    Add your files to the Additional Files list to make sure Actinicuploads them.

    To have a look at this in action go to
    http://www.fastfacts.com/acatalog/Ge...dicine_FF.html
    and click on one of the books to see further details. The 'view sample page' button uses the code detailed above.

    Hope this helps!
