Does AEM have the capability to store a list of PDF documents that a web page can fetch for viewing?

I am trying to workaround Sharepoint by storing PDF files in AEM. My users need the ability to download these files and view them from a web page. Is this possible? I can't seem to find any information on this topic, or perhaps I am searching in the wrong place.

You can upload various types of assets (including images, PDF files, RAW files, and so on) from your local folder or a network drive to AEM DAM. Once uploaded, you need to author it in respective Pages to make it available for End Users.

yes it is doable in AEM.

You need to have one component that will accept pdf docs to author the pdf file on the page.

From the authored doc path, you can use it as downloadable link from the back-end and pass it to the sightly to generate the look and feel of the downloadable link.

Hope this will help.
