Nowadays, it is common to create a book in the form of a PDF document. PDF document is small in size and can be emailed or posted on the website easily. Readers only need a free-of-charge plug-in to read the PDF document. PDF books will appear exactly as it is printed.

Posting a PDF book on the website is very simple for the website administrator. You only need to add one record and upload one PDF file to the web server. You don’t need to upload every single chapters because a PDF book already contains all the parts and chapters.

Before you can post a PDF book, your website must already have a category for this type of content. If your website hasn’t got one, please add a new category and name it “PDF Books”, for example.

You must select “PDF Books” as the content type when you add this new category. You can name it “PDF Novels”, “PDF Documents” or any other name. For simplicity, we just name it “PDF Books” in this example.

1. Add a category for PDF books
  • Login the Control Panel. Go to “Website Manager” and select “Categories” in the drop down list.
  • Select the appropriate Language Site. In this example, we will add the “PDF Books” category for the English site. If the box near the upper left corner does not show “English Site”, click on it and select “English Site”.
  • Click “Record Edit” near the upper right corner to add a record.

  • Click the box for “Parent” and select “Left Menu” to add this category to the Left Menu..
  • Fill in the “Title” box with “PDF Books”.
  • In the “Content Type” section, click the round button for “PDF Books”.
  • In the “Page Interface” section, select the interface that you like. We will select style 6 for this category because tha space for the book is larger.
  • Click the “Add” button.
  • However, our task is not done yet. You still need to place this new category in some order on the Left Menu. This can only be done when the category has already been added. In the “Properties” section near the upper right corner, find the “Order” box. Click on it and select “After Books”. This category will be placed after “Books” on the Left Menu.
