PDF naming conventions in Dynamic Media / DMS7

Without any kind of processing (jobOptions - pdfprocessing=none) if you would upload a pdf called abc.pdf with this option, the pdf in the DMS7 system will be called abc.

Since a pdf is a static asset however, and VirtualID serving of static assets is by default turned on, you can also request the pdf with the full path+extension. If it was uploaded into the root folder of your production instance called company, it could be requested as http://server.scene7.com/is/content/company/abc.pdf if it would be in a subfolder called subfolder, then the URL would be: http://server.scene7.com/is/content/company/subfolder/abc.pdf

With any processing (pdfprocess=thumbnail or any other option). With this option, the ID of the asset itself is reserved for the eCatalog.

The ID with -1, -2, etc. is for the page images. The ID with pdf attached is for the original pdf file, which is by default not published, even though a publish action is indicated as part of the upload.

For example

abc - eCatalog

abc-1 - image of the first page

abc-2 - image of the 2nd page etc.

abcpdf - original pdf

The full path pdf calling above also works for this option, but you’d need to explicitly make sure it is published, since it will not get published automatically.
