How do I create a page with PDFs

I want to create a press/media page where I can link to PDF articles about my shop. The thought is that if someone can click on an image, it will open the article for someone to read. I want the PDFs to live somewhere on my Shopify account, and not link to an outside website. How can I achieve this? Thanks!

@Paperartist use the files admin, or in some themes a special template to link to media or other files.

Liquid in templates can also generate links based on file names with hosted files filters

Also see dynamic sources using metafields https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/theme-structure/sections-and-blocks#metafield...

 

💣Avoid putting PDF content inside theme assets folder , themes have a ~25mb total size limit.

 

If you need theme customization for a press page then contact me for services.

You can create a press/media page in Shopify by uploading your PDF articles to the "Files" section of your admin panel, which gives you a direct link to each file. Then, on your media page, you can use images as clickable links that open the PDFs in a new tab, ensuring everything stays within your Shopify account.
