Import PDF files

This feature is a part of Product CSV. Click here to see all Product CSV features.

You can import PDF files using either external URLs or server file paths.

For each file you must provide:

  • a label (for example the file name shown to users)
  • a URL or server path pointing to the PDF file

Import format

URL1|Label1,URL2|Label2,URL3|Label3

Rules

  • URL and label must be separated using the | character
  • Each file entry must be separated using a comma ,
  • Do not use quotation marks
  • URLs must point directly to PDF files and must be publicly accessible
  • Server paths must be readable within your WordPress environment
  • Labels can contain spaces

Example

https://example.com/file1.pdf|Product Manual,/wp-content/uploads/specs.pdf|Technical Specification

Server path requirements

For best compatibility use absolute server paths (for example /home/user/public_html/wp-content/uploads/file.pdf)

Relative paths may work depending on server configuration, but are not guaranteed.

If file_get_contents() or allow_url_fopen is restricted on your server, importing from URLs or server paths may not work.

Example

https://example.com/file1.pdf|Product Manual,/home/user/public_html/wp-content/uploads/specs.pdf|Technical Specification
