Member	gavin-wdm.com - 7/21/2011 6:58:56 PM PDF file extension Hi, We have a client who "must" have the file extension .pdf on the end of their PDF files. For example, they uploaded a file using the 'File' document type and it still uses the .aspx file extension. Is it possible to make the file extension .pdf work? Thanks.

RE:PDF file extension

Hello,

You can retrieve a file uploaded in the content tree with any extension you like:

http://www.example.com/cms/getattachment/68e39375-7f4c-4954-b718-3f10e47f62c1/Testfile.pdf

You can also specify a custom URL extension in CMSDesk / <your page> / Properties / URLs by setting the property "URL extensions:". This will allow you to access the page with any extension you want.

Best regards,
Boris Pocatko
