Uploading a PDF in a Challenge on AdvocateHub

This article provides a workaround for uploading a PDF in a challenge on AdvocateHub, as direct PDF uploads are not supported.

User Query: Users may want to upload a PDF directly into a challenge for members to read without requiring them to upload anything.

Current Limitation: AdvocateHub currently supports direct uploads of videos, images, and links within challenges, but not PDFs.

Suggested Workaround: To incorporate a PDF into your challenge, follow these steps:

1. Upload the PDF Online:

   • Use an online storage platform such as Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox to upload your PDF.
   • Secure the PDF with a password if necessary.

2. Provide the Link in the Challenge:

   • In your challenge, include the link to the PDF.
   • Provide any necessary access information, such as the password to access the PDF.

3. Ensure Engagement with the PDF:

   • Add a step in the challenge for users to click an "I read it" button after accessing the PDF.
   • To verify that users have read the PDF, you can create a quiz related to the content of the PDF.

4. Allocate Reward Points:

   • Incentivize participation by allocating reward points for accessing the PDF and completing the quiz.

Example Setup:

• Challenge Title: Read the [PDF Document]
• Stage 1: Click on the link to access the PDF: [Link to PDF]
  • Include the password for the PDF if applicable.
• Stage 2: Click "I read it" to acknowledge you have read the document.
• Stage 3: Complete the quiz to test your understanding of the PDF content.
  • Add questions related to the PDF content to ensure engagement and comprehension.

Conclusion: Using this workaround allows you to effectively integrate PDFs into your AdvocateHub challenges, ensuring that your members can access and engage with the content you provide.
