Is it possible to upload any type of file to PF?

  • Thread starter Cyrus
  • Start date
In summary, Cyrus is asking if it is possible to upload any type of file, such as a Word or PDF document, in addition to pictures on a limited size. He believes it would be more convenient to combine text and pictures in one file rather than posting multiple pictures and resizing them. Evo responds that Word and PDF files are accepted, but the maximum file size is small and there is no advantage in adding pictures to another file type if they were too large to upload in the first place.

Sorry, I know this isint the place for this, but I don't know where to put it. I know I can upload (limited size) pictures, is it possible to upload any file, such as a word or pdf file? It would be easier to put a pic and text all in one word file sometimes than posting ten pictures and referring to them, and rescaling all of them.

Thanks,

Cyrus

Word and PDF are accepted, but the maximum file size is pretty small, and if the original picture size was too large to upload, I don't see any advantage in adding them to another file type.
