PDF link into VFE

Scenario:

user type/copy content into VFE, and it has a link to PDF,

e.g.
Read [click] here to download.

however the PDF is in user local machine.

user need to do open java uploader to upload file,

my question is, do we have any simplify way to process ?

ok ,
user is using CCSTD
1. Upload PDF -> through workflow process
2. find out the URL
3. create content , and create and paste URL into hyperlink
4. start workflow process again.

so it seems they have duplcate the steps to make one page live.

Oh, I see.

I agree with you -- you might consider implementing an UPLOAD callout right in your DCT. I've done that and you can specify what types of files you want the user to upload and also in what directory the upload will be deposited. Then, you can use it in the VFE that's in the same form.

For that matter, you could modify the link command in the VFE to include an upload from my pc function. Adding custom commands to the VFE used to be a major PITA, but I understand that Jonathon and Jeff have basically solved that particular problem in a super easy fashion - see their GearUp presentation for details:

If you do a search in support on dct and upload it will bring you to code you can use.
