To upload a PDF (Portable Document Format) or Microsoft Office file (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) into Ektron’s Content folder, create a new managed file.
Note: Use PDFs and Microsoft Office files sparingly on your website. Whenever possible, create HTML content instead. HTML content will make your website much easier for your visitors to use.
