I have 3 pdf forms to be downloaded upon clicking on the associated name in the dropdown parent nav. menu, (pdf files are stored in the resources). How can I do that?
There are a few ways to do this. Perhaps the easiest is to zip each PDF (right-click on file in finder and select âcompressâ). Then upload the Zip file (or Zipped folder) to a folder at your hosting area. For example, create a folder named âwarehouseâ and upload there. Youâll need an FTP app such as Cyberduck (free), Transmit, Forklift.
Zip files are automatically downloaded by all browsers.
Thanks @Mathew will try that!
⌠and I forgot to say: youâll need to copy the full URL of the uploaded files and then use that within RW. Most FTP apps provide a way for you to easily copy the relevant URL.
sure, @Mathew thank you!
From a âuser-experienceâ point of view, I wonder if youâd want to have a seperate page (i.e. âFormsâ) and link to all the pdfs/zips from there. Or maybe a download icon alongside the menu names maybe?
I say this because users might not know that theyâre downloading something by clicking on a menu item (and may not want to) and mobile users may not be able to use the zip files.
Just something to consider

In addition itâs much simpler to maintain one page with a set of downloads (you might add more later on) than using the menu approach. And I agree: using menu navigation for downloads will be confusing to most folks.
@Mathew initially I did that, then I thought to be more creative (I guess better to stick to a familiar approach !)
The problem I found with PDF/zip files is when users are on an iPhone or iPad - it creates all sorts of problems! In the end I used PDFâs, stored on GoogleDrive and made Public then embedded in a RW page.
