Akeneo now supports updating PDF, CSV, and other attachments for products

Managing attachments in Akeneo

• Create attributes: First, create file-type attributes (e.g., pdf1, csv1_). These attributes must be added to the correct families so they appear on product records.

• Add files: Open the product card, ensure it belongs to the correct family, and navigate to the attribute editing view. Select the desired attribute, such as pdf1_, and upload your file.

• Sync products: Once files have been added, sync the products with AI Commerce Cloud. The files will then appear in the “Attachments” section of the product card.

• Categorization: If you want to categorize attachments (e.g., “Manuals” or “Certificates”), this must be done in AI Commerce Cloud, as Akeneo does not natively support file categorization.

Important notes

• In Akeneo Community Edition, each media file requires its own attribute, and you can add up to 10 files per attribute.

• We recommend limiting file sizes to around 10 MB for optimal performance.

This allows you to efficiently manage multiple media files without needing a more expensive Akeneo edition or additional modules.
