Cant seem to successfully import a pdf file or excel file.
Is the file manager limited to image files only?
PDF is an image...

Ive seen what it is.
The file is there when I go into the file manager.
If however I go add file to a block for instance the pdf file doesnt show even when I search the pdf attribute extension...

This seems to be a bug...
Which block are you using?
You should be able to link to it using a Content block, but something like an Image block will only support standard types, like GIF, PNG and JPG.
Displaying a PDF requires the Acrobat plugin, so you will need to use an embed or object tag if you want to show it in your site, kind of like Flash or Quicktime. However, I would be careful, as PDF files can tend to be large in file size.

Once you have the code you need you can put it in an HTML block

OK.
I want to DISPLAY this pdf as well as download it.
This doesnt see to be possible.
The content block lets me 'attach' the pdf and then lists it as blah.pdf.
But I want it to display?? Can I do this??

I think I have to make a .jpg of the file, display that, then list the pdf for download.
mmm bit of a plaver.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

That sounds like a good idea. If a visitor doesn't have Acrobat installed, it's probably better for them to get that message after they download the file than when they try to visit the page.
Nevertheless, if you decided to embed it, you can also do it through a Content block if you click the edit HTML button, and paste in the embed code there.

Thank you so much for your tips on how to add file types in the File Manager. It helped me load up xlsx files!
I really appreciate your tips.
I really appreciate your tips.
Could you be going over the PHP file upload limit on your server? Are the permissions on your server's upload folder configured so that it is writable?
