Can I attach a scanned document to a post?

[Firepath]

I know how to attach photos, but I can't seem to attach scanned documents (dailys). 

Do I need to photo the document and attach it that way? It's not nearly as clear if I do.

At the bottom left of the reply box (at least on my desktop) is Drag files here to attach, or choose files... Those files don't have to be pictures, they can be any file.

Unlike picture files (jpg, jpeg, png,etc)  other file types display as links. The content must be downloaded by users for viewing. In order to view the content a user needs to be able open the file type on their device. This is not a given so posters should try to use only the most commonly used file types.

 

If the scanned documents are in pdf files, use the "Click to choose files" link. On a mobile you may then have to select an app to use for file selection. If so you will need to use a file manager / explorer app. Photo gallery apps typically will not provide access to non photo / video file types. On a Windows pc, you may have to change the file types displayed in the selection dialog.
