This would be very much what we are looking for as well.
Topic summary
A merchant asks how to add downloadable PDF spec sheets to product pages without coding or hiring a developer.
Initial Solution:
- Shopify support provides a manual workaround: upload PDFs via Settings > Files, copy the URL, then insert as a hyperlink in the product description
- Includes step-by-step instructions with screenshots and video tutorial
Community Feedback & Requests:
- Multiple users find the manual process too cumbersome and time-consuming
- Several merchants request a simpler drag-and-drop interface similar to Magento/WooCommerce platforms
- One user asks about automatically generating PDFs from product fields (rather than uploading individual files), but receives no definitive answer initially
App Recommendations (later in thread):
- Ease Product Attachments (free app) - allows easy file uploads without coding
- Agile Attachments - can generate PDFs based on product attributes
- Print Product Page - generates datasheets/tearsheets from product/variant metafields
Status: Discussion remains open with ongoing requests for better native functionality, though third-party apps now offer solutions beyond the original manual method.
