How to add a Download PDF link to a Button or a Page?

Topic summary

Goal: add a downloadable PDF link/button on any Shopify Page/Product page. The poster’s initial attempt—linking a slideshow button to a file—didn’t work.

Key steps proposed:

  • Upload the PDF via Shopify Admin (Content/Files), then copy the file URL.
  • Insert a link or button on the desired page/section that points to this file URL. This can be placed in a page’s content or theme section where the button should appear.

Implementation notes:

  • One reply outlines the process (upload PDF, then add a download button/link on the page). Code snippets are referenced but not fully shown; the core action is linking the button to the PDF’s file URL.
  • Another reply provides a screenshot (image attachment) demonstrating how to upload the file and retrieve its download link, then add a “Download” button at the desired position.

Status/outcome: No confirmation from the original poster; resolution not explicitly verified. The guidance centers on using the Files URL for the PDF and linking it via a button or link in the theme/page.
