Storing Files

In order for files to be persisted, you need to keep the default Save To JCR action on the form or create your own mechanism for persisting files. In the case when you keep the default Save To JCR action the files will appear in Form Factory results and in JCR under the input name as expected.

You can view results by selecting “View Results” in site settings under Form Factory.

If you upload a PDF file (or any other readable file) you will see its name as link. Clicking the link will open a new tab in your browser and you will be able to read the file.
