How can I set up webflow to have individual links that go straight into a PDF file, without the need to click into a page first?

To set up Webflow to have individual links that go straight into a PDF file, without the need to click into a page first, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a new Collection in Webflow:

• Go to your Webflow project and click on the CMS tab.
• Click on "Add Collection" and give it a name.
• Add any necessary fields to the Collection (e.g., Title, PDF).

1. Upload your PDF file:

• In the CMS tab, click on "Add new item" to create a new entry for your PDF file.
• Upload the PDF file by clicking on the "Upload file" button in the PDF field.
• Make sure to add a title for your PDF file.

1. Design your Collection template:

• Go to the Collection Template page and design it to display the PDF file link.
• Create a link element and bind it to the PDF field in the Collection.
• Make sure to set the link URL to the "File" option and bind it to the PDF field as well.

1. Publish your Website:

• After designing your template, publish your website for the changes to take effect.

Now, when you add a new entry to your Collection and upload a PDF file, the link on your website will directly lead to the PDF without the need to click into a separate page.

This setup allows for a smoother user experience and enables visitors to access PDF files quickly. It is especially useful for websites that require the direct download of PDF documents.

Note: If you want to open the PDF in a new tab or window, you can edit the link element's settings and select the "Open in new tab" option.
