I was wondering about the Dynamic Content under features at the URL below.

I was looking to use PDF files that would reference my products and list that on the product display page. I did not see anything in the documentation about that could you please explain the existing support for these file types?

The dynamic content would allow you to upload assets through the admin; in your case, this would be PDFs. When you upload an asset you can set the url and thus link your product page to said url. An advantage would be if you made a change to the pdf, you could easily change it via the admin without having to bring down your site to make the update.

I recommend that you try out our demo if you haven't already. It will give you access to the admin and a site where you can upload assets/pdfs and also make static html pages where you could link your assets to see them in action.

While uploading image assets might not be what you need right now, we do have more flexibility with assets that are images. Here are a few links with more in-depth information.
