Trouble uploading PDF Ordinance #1080

Open rskoenig opened 6 years ago

rskoenig commented 6 years ago

Hi There!

I've successfully started a sponsor account. Now, I'm trying to upload a document:

https://mymadison.io/documents/city-of-santa-cruz-short-term-rental-ordinance

Is there anyway just to attach my PDF? It's not uploading the formatting and given the length, 13 pages, it will be a fair amount of work to proceed.

This will be the starting point for a discussion among Short Term Rental advocates for the version we want to propose. I've asked the City for a doc format but so far they've only shared a PDF.

How would you recommend efficiently getting the ordinance into the system?

Thank you, Manu

@rskoenig we currently do not have any sort of import features unfortunately. There has been talk about doing that work but our efforts are being demanded other places for the foreseeable future.

My suggestion would be to look around for converters to markdown. Their are a number of them and they should be able to get a bulk of the work done.
