==Overview==
When enabled, SmartSimple's '''Autoconvert uploaded Word Documents to PDF''' feature automatically converts Word Documents that are uploaded to [[Custom Field Type: Link – Multiple Files|Multi File field types]] into PDF versions of the same document asynchronously.

==Enabling the Feature==
{{CustomField-Nav}}

4. Locate the specific '''[[Custom Field Type: Link – Multiple Files|Link – Multiple Files]]''' field type<br />

5. Under the File Options menu, add a check mark to '''Auto Convert Documents to PDF on Upload'''

When checked, a new combo-box is displayed allowing other Multiple File fields to store the converted PDF called '''Save Auto Converted PDF To:'''.  By default the converted PDF will be saved to the same field as the original Word Document.  

Below is an image of the checked option and the new combo-box providing other field options from a drop down menu.<br />
