{{UnderConstruction}| class="wikitable"|-|[[Image:How.png|50px|link=]]|This article will explain '''how''' you can implement this feature for use on your SmartSimple system. |} 

==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==

# Navigate to the '''[[UTA]]'''# Click on the '''Settings''' icon{{CustomField-Nav}}# Under the L1 or L2, Click on the Custom Fields# 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 />
