Hi All.

I am looking for guidance on  creating a members area where our clients can log into their own area and download and or view a series of PDF documents ?

Any help much appreciated.

Hello Andy,
would these documents be different from user to user, or would you need to give access to the same set of documents?

Hi Eric.

These would be user specific. 

We have a set of PDF documents which we send to our customers which are for each individual and rather than printing them out and sending in a file we are looking at the possibility of each customer being able to download their own and print them off themselves therefor would need an individual passworded access to get these if possible.

Kind regards

Andy

Hello Andy,
in this case a separate page for each user would need to be created as a protected page to which only that specific user has access, and containing the relevant files for that users.
The page should also be specified as the Entrance Page for the user.

Hi Eric.

Excellent, I think this will work for us.

One last pointer... how do I get a link for them to download the files ?

Thanks

Andy

Hello,
the PDF File object has an option to download the file and not only view it, and you can also use the Download Button or create a download link through text.
