Dynamic Page Link to Document

Objective
Create a page to show weekly newsletters . Each week a new newsletter has to be uploaded to the site.
To make it easiest for the user to update the weekly newsletters on the site, I created a dynamic page with a database collection which contains the documents.

I’ve created a database to hold documents (pdf).
I created a dynamic page to display the documents.
However, when I try to link a dynamic page element to the data in the database which holds the document, it does not allow it. The filed holding the document is grayed out.

Please let me know how I might accomplish this or recommend a better way to achieve this objective.

Hi,
Which field have you tried to connect to the collection?
Please send us a screenshot of the issue, the site URL and the page name so that we can better understand what you were referring.

Thanks,
Tal.

Not sure which object to add to the page to link the data. I tried using a text box.

Thanks for your help!

Which element do you try to connect to the document field? You can connect a table to the PDF file, so that once a site visitor clicks on the table, the PDF file is displayed.
If you wish to display the file itself on the page, it’s impossible. However, you can use the PDF viewer app. Note that you cannot send files to the app (meaning it’s not dynamic and does not have access to the collection).
