How to add/replace the PDFs on the Help page in Elements

For self hosted Clients, this article will show you how to replace the default PDFs on the Help page in Elements with your own customized versions. It will also show you how to make your own PDFs available in the Information section of the Help page. For hosted clients, please raise a support request.

1. Create custom version of PDF file

2. Add custom PDF file to the 'Resources' folder on the server where Elements is installed (...\Website\resources)

3. Ensure that the custom PDF file name matches an existing file but appended with "_local"

For example, the default "quick_start.pdf" file can be replaced by adding a file called "quick_start_local.pdf" in the "resources" directory.

Ask your system administrator to replace these files on the server. 

You can make your own PDFs available in the Information section on the Help page.

1.  Create new PDF file

2. Add new PDF file to the 'Resources' folder on the server where  is installed (...\Website\resources)

3. Update the Help Page Content to include URL for the PDF

URL syntax: http://elements-host-url/resources.html?file=file_name.pdf
where elements-host-url is replaced with the appropriate Elements server URL and file_name is replaced with the name of the file.
