      Cloud - Tested with both New and Old Editors

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Page, Upload a PDF, and Publish the Page
      2. Create a New Page and insert the PDF Macro
      3. Input the Page Name from 1 and select the PDF File from the dropdown

      Notes

      The PDF Macro will insert correctly if the PDF referenced is Local to the Page.

      Inserting the PDF on the New Page could work, however, this is not ideal as it would require the User to maintain the PDF across multiple pages rather than in a single spot if using the PDF Macro

      Workaround

      • The Attachments macro could be used to reference the PDFs on the other Page, however, the User will need to download the file to view it - Bug with Previewing in the Attachments Macro - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-40609
        • Labels and Filename Pattern could be utilized to display only PDFs and specific ones if the reference page contains multiple different attachments.
