I have just started using Umbraco. I am tasked with associating several PDF files to product.
I am going to create a File Document Type and allow those to be child nodes to each Product Document Type.
Now my question is.... for each File Document Type, should I add an "Upload"...or a "Media Picker" ?
What is the standard preferred way to do it?
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
Sincerely,
Jeff
You could have a look at DAMP. There it's easy to select multiple pdf files.

I need to attach attributes to each PDF file for display. For example, Title, Description, Size, Thumbnail, etc. etc. ...
You could do that by creating a new media type which has all these properties. In this demo I use custom media types a lot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkcObL7CMvQ.
For uploading you could use a custom version of the Multiple File Upload which supports custom media types: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/multiple-file-upload/bugs/20286-Support-for-custom-Media-Types.
What is the preferred way of allowing users to upload files? Through the "Upload" type...or "Media Picker" ?
Nevermind, I should have thoroughly searched the forum better...
