# Add PDF

> Share price lists, menus, brochures and forms as a downloadable PDF on your website

## How it works

You can't upload a PDF file directly in Nettify AI or in manual editing. The PDF has to live in a cloud service first — for example **Google Drive**, **Dropbox** or **OneDrive**. Then you give Nettify AI the link, and Nettify AI creates a download button or link on your website.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **In short:** Upload the PDF to Google Drive or Dropbox → make the link public → paste the link into Nettify AI → ask Nettify AI to make it downloadable on your website.

> [!WARNING]
>
> The link **must** be set to public. If it isn't, visitors will be asked to request access — and they won't be able to download the file.

***

## Step by step

**1. Upload the PDF to a cloud service**

Go to [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com), [Dropbox](https://dropbox.com) or OneDrive and upload your PDF file.

**2. Make the link public**

Right-click the file and select **Share**. Set access so that **anyone with the link** can view the file. Then copy the link.

**3. Paste the link into Nettify AI**

Open the chat with Nettify AI and paste the link along with a message about what you want done.

**4. Say where the PDF should go**

Be clear about the placement: "in the menu", "in the contact section on the front page", "at the bottom of the About us page". Without a "where", Nettify AI has to guess.

**5. Review and publish**

Check that the button appears correctly in the preview and that the file opens when you click it. Then click **Publish** to make the change visible to visitors.

## Making the link public

This is the step people forget most often. Here's how to do it in the most common services:

> [accordion] Google Drive
>
> 1. Right-click the file and select **Share**
> 2. Under **General access**, change from "Restricted" to **"Anyone with the link"**
> 3. Leave the role set to **Viewer**
> 4. Click **Copy link** and then **Done**

> [accordion] Dropbox
>
> 1. Hover over the file and click **Share**
> 2. Select **"Anyone with the link"** can **view**
> 3. Click **Copy link**

> [accordion] OneDrive
>
> 1. Right-click the file and select **Share**
> 2. Click the link settings and choose **"Anyone with the link"**
> 3. Uncheck **"Allow editing"**
> 4. Click **Copy link**

> [!TIP]
>
> **Test the link before you send it to Nettify AI.** Paste it into a private/incognito window in your browser. If you can see the PDF without logging in, the link is set up correctly.

## Ready-made prompts

### Download button for a price list

A price list as a PDF makes it easy for customers to keep your prices, print them or forward them internally before they decide.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Copy this prompt and paste it into Nettify AI:**

```
Add a downloadable PDF to the website.
Link to the file: [paste your public link here]

Create a button in the services section on the front page with:
- Button text: "Download price list (PDF)"
- The button should open the file in a new tab
- Design: same style as the other buttons on the page
```

***

### Menu for a restaurant or café

Does your menu change with the season? Publish it as a PDF, and you only need to update the file in Google Drive when something changes — without touching the website.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Copy this prompt and paste it into Nettify AI:**

```
Add a downloadable menu as a PDF on the front page.
Link to the file: [paste your public link here]

Create a separate section with:
- Heading: "See our menu"
- Short intro: "Download our menu as a PDF."
- Button: "Download menu (PDF)" that opens the file in a new tab
- Design: centered, with plenty of space around the button
```

### Several PDFs in one overview

Do you have several documents — a brochure, warranty terms, safety data sheets? Gather them in one place so customers don't have to go looking.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Copy this prompt and paste it into Nettify AI:**

```
Create a section with downloadable documents at the bottom of the About us page.
Heading: "Documents and forms"

Add these files as download links:
- "[name of document 1]": [paste link]
- "[name of document 2]": [paste link]
- "[name of document 3]": [paste link]

Show them as a list with a PDF icon in front of each name.
All links should open in a new tab.
```

***

### PDF in the menu

Should the document be easy to find from every page? Put it in the main menu.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Copy this prompt and paste it into Nettify AI:**

```
Add a menu item called "Price list" to the main menu.
The menu item should link to this file: [paste your public link here]
The file should open in a new tab.
Place the menu item between "Services" and "Contact".
```

## Frequently asked questions

> [accordion] Can I upload the PDF directly in Nettify?
>
> No. You can upload images directly in the chat, but PDF files have to live in a cloud service like Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. You give Nettify AI the link instead of the file.

> [accordion] Visitors get a 'request access' message — what's wrong?
>
> The link isn't public. Go back to Google Drive or Dropbox and set sharing to **"Anyone with the link"**. Test the link in an incognito window afterwards.

> [accordion] Can the file download instead of opening?
>
> Yes. Tell Nettify AI that the file should be **downloaded** instead of opened in the browser. In Google Drive you can also use a direct download link in the format `https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILE-ID`, where `FILE-ID` is the long code from your share link.

> [accordion] What happens when I update the PDF?
>
> If you replace the file in Google Drive or Dropbox without changing the link, the content updates automatically on the website. If you upload a completely new file, you get a new link — and then you need to give Nettify AI the new link.

> [accordion] Can I display the PDF directly on the page?
>
> Yes. Ask Nettify AI to embed the PDF in a viewer on the page instead of as a button. This works best on desktop — on mobile a download button is usually better. See also [HTML widget](https://docs.nettify.no/en/ai/html-widget.md).

> [!WARNING]
>
> Don't publish PDFs with sensitive information — such as personal data, account numbers or contracts. Anyone with the link can open the file.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Want to add video or lots of images?** Same approach — upload to Google Drive and share the link. See [Add video and large files](https://docs.nettify.no/en/ai/legg-til-video.md).
