If you need to send through a PDF to your audience, you won’t want to attach it the way you would in a regular email as it can cause delivery issue. The easiest way to ensure you are directing your audience to the link is to use either a hyperlink (a link that is connected to a word of text) to the PDF in your campaign or to add a link to the PDF to a button you add to your campaign.
Let’s show you how(don’t worry, it’s easier than you think):
First you’ll need to upload the PDF file to your Media Library. To do this, you can click on your PROFILE NAME and then click on MEDIA LIBRARY.
Now you can either click on UPLOAD and locate the PDF file from your local computer or drag and drop it into the Media Library.
Next, you’re going to select the template or draft campaign that you created.
To create a hyperlink, first drag and drop a structure onto your campaign design. Then, add text content to the structure and position it where you want the PDF document to appear in your campaign.
Edit the text block by highlighting the section that currently says "CLICK ME" You can replace it with your preferred text, such as "Click here to download" After highlighting the text, click on the LINK ICON in the Text Editor on the text editor panel.
After clicking on it, you can update the Display Name and then change the URL to the desired link. Once you click on the file, it will prompt you with the Media Library, where you should be able to choose which PDF file you would like to use in the hyperlink. Next, select the file from your local computer; it should automatically be added to your list of files and images. Please keep in mind that each PDF file has a size limit of 2 MB.
To use a button, first drag and drop a structure into your campaign design. Then, place the Button content block. Now you can click CHOOSE FILE to complete the process.
And there you have it. It’s the simplest way to add a PDF file onto your Mail Blaze campaign design. Don’t forget to click SAVE at the top of the page.
