Create a PDF download button

Last Update: January 25, 2024

The PDF Download button on your website typically allows users to download the web page’s content or document in PDF (Portable Document Format) format. When visitors click on a PDF Download button, the website may generate a PDF version they’re viewing and prompt them to download it.

1. Open a new page, and add the Text Editor widget to the canvas. For details, see Add elements to a page.
