Image Organizer/ Acquire - uploading a PDF

Overview

There are several methods that a PDF can be saved into TDO that vary slightly based off the TDO version being used.

Prior to Saving a PDF in TDO...

The PDF should already be saved somewhere on your computer AND have a unique name to prevent the files from overwriting when the default name convention maxes out the character.
