Store a pdf within a workflow

[mmarshall]

Is there a way that I can store a pdf within a workflow (much like text input or static images), which can then be output when the flow is not ran locally off my desktop?

Hi @mmarshall ,

The best way to store external assets that are needed by your workflow is to export the workflow as a Packaged Workbook (yxzp).

This can be shared with another user as a single file for use on their copy of Designer.

The workflows are actually XML files, so you can store within pretty much whatever is "storable" in one of them.

Alteryx doesn't work with PDF files, the only solution would be to convert the files with some software to jpg or png images store them after.
