Add PDFs to SF.gov

You can add PDFs directly to some pages on SF.gov. You can also upload them in the Documents tab in Karl first (this option is best if you are uploading multiple files at once). Once PDFs are uploaded, you can attach them, or link to them from any kind of page.

Attach PDFs to a page on SF.gov

PDFs can be attached directly to the following content types:

• About us

• Campaign

• Meeting

• Report

• Resource collection

• Transaction

On these content types:

1. Look within section components for a Document selector. Here is an example from a Campaign page:

The document selector may be within a component called Content, Resources, or Downloadable Files. For example, on a Campaign page, the document selector is nested under Additional content, then Resources, then Downloadable resources.

1. Click Choose a document

1. Either Search for a file, or Upload a new one.

1. To upload, fill in these fields:

• Description - a short summary of what the document says

  • Ex: “Public Health Order allowing the reopening of childcare programs and summer camps for all children.”

  • You can add bold formatting and links to this text

• Published Date (optional)

• Click Update
