Add a PDF or a downloadable file

Some work needs the original file close at hand: a contract to check, a reading for a lesson, a research report or a set of photos. MockFlow has two components for this. The PDF viewer shows a PDF you can read and scroll on the board, and Download File gives people on the board a file to download with one click.

Show a PDF on the board

The quickest way is to drag a PDF from your computer onto the board. It opens in a PDF viewer. You can also add one yourself:

1. Click Add anything (the plus button) in the toolbar at the bottom of the board and choose PDF viewer.

2. Click Upload PDF in its toolbar to pick a file from your computer, or Select PDF to use a file you uploaded before.

Click Interact with Component (the hand button) to scroll through the pages. Add Title to doc puts a title above the PDF, and Download PDF downloads the file. Enter Focus Mode opens it large for reading.

Share a file to download

1. Click Add anything and choose Download File.

2. Click Select File, then Upload File to pick a file from your computer, From Library to use one you uploaded before, or File URL to link to a file stored elsewhere.

Anyone on the board clicks the tile to download the file, or to open it in a new tab. Use it for a ZIP of photos, a slide deck, a spreadsheet or a template people need to fill in. The toolbar sets the tile's Background color, Corner Radius, font and Font color.
