Square Wheels Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I have a document download section. People upload procedures and other forms. There is an image that's associated with each, but it's always blank. How do I get it to show the file type of each document? Let's say a Word, or Excel image or ma maybe a pdf logo.

The only way is to UPLOAD A NEW VERSION: You don't need to provide a new .doc or .xls, etc. Just upload the screenshot and save it. Note: this is an old request, by the way.

That's probably why people didn't upload a screenshot. 🙂 My Sharona and Square Wheels 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) OK, so I added my first screenshot, a simple pdf png. It seems the screenshot needs to be sized first. Any idea, aside from trial and error, what size it needs to be? The image is cropped. Edited November 4, 2023 by Square Wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) The space is a square. Your image should be also I believe. It looks like that image is a tall rectangle which does not fit within the dimensions of a square.

Thanks, I'll add a background to the rectangular image to make it square. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Square Wheels My community uploads hundreds of PDF resources and files too. If users are uploading PDFs, one of my personal favorites for third-party tools is Boxoft PDF to JPG Converter. It's a free Windows program to batch convert PDF files into JPG, which you can use as screenshots for Downloads. I find this to be more useful than a generic PDF icon, since you can upload the first X pages of the resource. There are some very, easy settings http://www.boxoft.com/pdf-to-jpg/ Edited November 5, 2023 by Joel R Square Wheels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
