Attach a hand-produced PDF catalog or calendar to a catalog year

Upload a PDF catalog archive

Attach a PDF to a catalog year so students can download it. This covers uploading
your own PDF file (for example a finalized, hand-formatted catalog you already
produced, or an archived catalog from before you moved to Kenii). Kenii can also
generate a catalog PDF automatically from your program, credential, and course
data; a year with a hand-uploaded PDF will not have its file overwritten by that
automatic generation.

  1. Go to Catalog Years in the sidebar.
  2. Find the year and, in the Catalog PDF column, click Upload PDF.
  3. In the media library that opens, upload or select a PDF file, then click
    Attach PDF.

The file now appears in that column as a link, with a remove button next to it. The
public “Download the Catalog (PDF)” link on your catalog pages, and the
/kenii/v1/catalog-pdf/{id} and /kenii/v1/catalog-pdf/active endpoints, serve
this file for that year.

Follow the same steps in the Calendar PDF column to attach a separate academic
calendar PDF to the year.

To remove an uploaded PDF, click the × next to its filename in the Catalog PDF
or Calendar PDF column.

If you want Kenii to go back to generating the catalog PDF automatically for a year
that currently has a hand-uploaded file, remove the uploaded PDF first. Kenii
won’t overwrite a hand-uploaded file while one is attached. Regenerating the
automatically-built PDF on demand requires a WordPress administrator account;
attaching or removing your own uploaded PDF does not.
