Stage 2: Create a Link to a File
-
Remain on the page, navigate down to the Downloads section.
-
Right-click on the file you'd like to embed and click Copy Link Address.
-
Navigate to the page you would like to embed the photo. While in the text editor, highlight the text you'd like to turn into a link, then click on the Insert/edit link button in the toolbar.
-
A dialog box will appear where you will then paste the link copied in into the Url field.
-
Click Ok and your text will be hyperlinked.
🌟 Tithely Tip: If your link is too long (over 255 characters) you can use a free service like TinyURL to shorten the link length. Or, upload your PDF to a service like Google Drive or Dropbox for a shorter link length.
