How to Add and Use Custom Pages in Your Directory

Custom Pages allow you to include additional content in your directory PDF—such as newsletters, event schedules, or special announcements.

This article walks through how to upload, include, and manage Custom Pages.

What Are Custom Pages?

Custom Pages are PDF files that you create, upload and insert into your directory.

Common examples include:

Event flyers
Ministry schedules
Church policies or forms
Special announcements

Step 1: Upload a Custom Page

Log in as an Admin
Click Customize in the left menu
Select PDF Pages
Click Upload Custom Page
Choose your PDF file and upload it

Once uploaded, your Custom Page will appear in the list of available pages.

Step 2: Add the Custom Page to Your Directory

After uploading:

Make sure your Custom Page is checked in the list
Drag and drop it to the desired position in your directory

This controls where the page will appear in your generated PDF.

Step 3: Generate or Update Your PDF

Go to the PDF tab
Generate or Update your directory

Your Custom Page will be included based on:

Whether it is checked
Where it is placed in the order

👉 See Generating your directory, subdirectories and addendums.

Important: Showing Custom Pages in the Member App

To make Custom Pages visible in the Member App or website:

Click Member Apps in the left menu
Make sure Enable Member Apps is turned on
Turn ON Show Custom Pages in Member Apps

If this setting is off, your Custom Pages will not appear in the app—even if they are included in your PDF.

Important: PDF vs Member App Behavior

Custom Pages behave differently in the PDF vs the Member App.

In the PDF:

Pages appear in the exact order you set in PDF Pages

In the Member App / Website:

Custom Pages are displayed alphabetically by title
The order you set in PDF Pages does not apply here

If your pages seem “out of order” in the app, this is expected behavior.

Tips for Better Organization

Use clear, simple titles for your Custom Pages
If order matters in the app, consider naming pages with a prefix (for example: “1 - Schedule”, “2 - Events”)
Keep file names and page titles consistent for easy identification
