PDF does not update

KennethP

Hi all,
When uploading a new PDF in a Multitrack song, it does not update the previous one if they are named the same.

Even if you delete the old one first, press "done" and exit the song / shift to another song / exit ST3 - and then try to update, it still retains the old one (if they are named the same).

The easy work-around is to name your PDF's _1.pdf, _2.pdf etc, for each correction you make to a PDF, but if it is a quick fix, it would be nice 🙂.

Kind regards
Kenneth

Please explain in detail how you update.

I can update any pdf without issues by overwriting the pdf file in the PDF-Documents folder.

I upload a PDF to my I-cloud drive (account).
Create a new Multitrack song. (Test/Test)
Click the <I> icon.
Click <none> on the PDF line. Select ICloud drive. Select the PDF.
Include it in a playlist.
Click Done.
Change the Word document, save as PDF (Same name as original).
Upload this PDF to my I-cloud account. (Checked, it is the revised one)
Open the song
Delete the old PDF (Swipe left, trashcan).
Click the new PDF from Icloud (Icon shows it is the revised one), and insert the revised PDF.
Click "Done" and exit.
The old PDF is still there.

That happens when this PDF is also linked to another song. A file is only deleted when there are no songs referencing to it. When you then try to add back a file with the same name, it will reuse the existing file.

To replace an existing pdf (or audio) file, use the Files app. Copy the file from iCloud drive in the Stage Traxx 3 PDF folder and overwrite the existing file.
