PDF Content Upload Overview
KMx allows administrators to upload PDF documents into the content library by creating a new Content Record.
The process consists of three stages:
1Create the Content Record
Open Content Administration and select the K/S Table where the document will be stored.
2Upload the PDF Document
Choose the appropriate content type, enter a title, and upload the PDF through Edit Content.
3Verify and Save
Refresh the content record, use View Content to confirm the document is correct, and save the record.
Important: Content Types May DifferThese instructions apply to uploading PDF documents. The steps may vary for other types of content.
For SCORM packages, refer to the KMx instructions for HTML/ZIP files instead.
Before You BeginHave the PDF document saved on your computer and identify the K/S Table where it should be stored.
Choose a descriptive title so administrators can easily identify the document later.

Next Step: Using the PDF in a Course
Adding Content to a CourseIf the uploaded PDF is intended to be part of an online learning course, you may need to add the saved Content Record to the course separately.
Uploading a PDF to the content library does not necessarily add it to a Course Record.
PDF Content Record CreatedOnce the PDF has been uploaded, verified, and saved, the content record is ready for use in KMx.
If the PDF is intended for a course, complete any separate course-content setup steps required.
