Instruction

  • Go to the PDF file which you want to attach into in the Finder.
  • If you find it, please drag it onto the page which you wanna insert.

  • Resize and replace the cover image just as you want.
  • Select the image, and then open "Inspector".
  • Go to the "Link" tab on the Inspector.
  • Check on "Enable as a hyperlink", and set "Link To: A File".
  • A Pop-up file browsing window will show up, please choose the PDF file which you will attach.
  • Successfully, the cover photo is now linked with the PDF file.
  • Everything is done. Publish your website.
