If you’re viewing a document category and you can see a button titled “Read More” then it’s possible that you’ve embedded a document rather than attached it.
Our document system allows you to attach a document upload. If done correctly then you’ll see a download button, if instead you’ve embedded the document as a link, you’ll see a read more button.
The website automatically detects if an attachment is present and if one isn’t found then it displays a ‘Print PDF’ button as can be seen at the top right of this page. The Government Digital Service prefer content to be HTML rather than PDF wherever possible. That means that they prefer content to be created directly on the website as this is easier for people to access, rather than having to download an attachment.
Although this may sound difficult, it really isn’t. This document that you’re reading is created directly on the website. If people want to print it then we’ve provided a button that formats the page as a PDF and allows them to print it. An example can be found on the link below.

If however, you've simply embedded a link to a document in the text area, the website won't recognise this as text and therefore the download PDF button wont work. To prevent this issue, ensure that when creating a document with an attachment, click the add file button rather than embed a link. See below.
