Hi, I would like to add a user manual for the vision application that can be downloaded by clicking a button. Is there a way to do this? ---

I usually store user resources as blobs in a database. For this use case, simply use the action performed event handler of a button to retrieve the file from the database, and use [system.file.writeFile](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-file/system-file-writeFile) to save the file locally. ---

I did the same thing as suggested but when i try to open the pdf file from application , it says that the file is corrupted. EDIT: Instead of uploading directly from db, i tried uploading from application and it worked properly.
