Including pdf documents through links

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I want to include the link to a pdf file (present in a local folder) into a markdown file. I tried the following:

  • [filename](path to file)
  • {download}`pdf <path to file>`

both of these didn’t work. Can you please suggest how to go about this?

Thanks.

You were right! It was a path issue only. I was able to make it work now with the {download} directive. Thanks a lot 👍

hmmmm - that feels like maybe a permissions problem or something? Or maybe double-check that the path is correct? In general the {download} directive is exactly meant for creating a download link for a local asset.
