Document Component
There are two primary steps in preparing your files to be available for download from your site (click on any of the tutorial images to see a larger view of the example image).
Upload the Files
Once you have your files converted to PDF, you can upload your files by selecting:
Components
Downloads
Files
Next, you will click on the button:
Upload
Next, you should select:
Upload File From Your Computer
Next, you will click the Browse button to select the file from your computer. You should give the file a local name that is exactly the same as the file itself (It is case sensitive). Please do not have any spaces in the files name. While this is ok on your computer, it can cause problems on a web site.
Once your file has uploaded, you will be directed to the next page. Select the first option by clicking on the little button next to Make a New Document Using this file.
On the next page, under the document tab, you can change the file title (This is how the file will be displayed on your site). If you have more than one Category, you should select the category from the drop down list that best suits this file.
Click the Permissions tab. This will give you the option of making this download available to ALL users or only for registered users.

Finally, in the document list, be sure to click on both red X's (they will change to approved and published status) Your files are now available for download. If you ever need to unpublilsh or remove a file, you may simply click on the publish button to change its status.
