[DDI-users] Re: Referring to PDF documentation

[Sanda Ionescu]

Hi, Elizabeth.
I think the best place to refer  to other study-related files that you 
might be distributing (including PDF documentation, but also statistical 
packages, etc.) is the 5.0 section - Other study-related materials. Note 
that this element is both repeatable and nestable so if you have several 
study-related materials you can either list them or organize them in 
groups- there is quite a bit of flexibility.
