Update PDF

Updating a existing PDF file on the website.
Both the Calendar and the Bulletin are created as PDF files. We use a WordPress plugin called EmbedPres to display PDF files on our website. The following steps can be used to update the Calendar or the Bulletin.

Preliminaries:

  1. Register and obtain permission to modify the website.  See the Register section in the Website Support page.
