If it works better for you, you can store the PDFs in the same area as other related content. If you want to make a central PDF download page, you could then set up ZCatalog to index the property "content_type", and do a Find to catalog the objects. Then, your download page just needs to search the catalog for content_type: application/pdf (or whatever the type is).
It could be as simple as:
<dtml-in "Catalog({'metatype': 'File', 'content_type': 'application/pdf'})"> <a href="/<dtml-var "getpath(data_record_id_)">/index.html"><dtml-var title></a> </dtml-in>
OK, this is cool. I just read the ZCatalog tutorial. Are you suggesting a simple search interface at the central download page or simply using ZCatalog to find the relevant, but scattered, PDF files and then create some sort of list of them that a user can click on? -Tim -- Timothy Wilson | "The faster you | Check out: Henry Sibley H.S. | go, the shorter | http://slashdot.org/ W.
