The CSV importer supports adding images through a list of URLs, could I also import other file types, such as PDF? Many of my products are very technical. I would like to attach a manual or specification sheet or brochure to the product during import, much like I can with the images. Again, I would be willing to make a donation to get this added. Let me know what donation would be needed and what the timeline would be.
Thank you for the suggestion and for your willingness to support the development of AbanteCart.
This is certainly something we could consider adding. A donation of $300 USD or more would help prioritize and accelerate the development process. With that level of support, our developer should be able to complete the feature in approximately one business week, assuming no unexpected technical issues arise.
I previously donated $200 on 11/7/25, I will made an addition $100 donation today. Looking forward to seeing this feature in AbanteCart!
Thank you for your donation timlight10.
We will add the feature that you suggest very soon.
Checking on development status of this feature.

Thank you for following up, timlight10.
The requested feature has already been in work, and you can see the commit here: GitHub Commit (https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/commit/baada257a581ff9e7b3d7e9da280c3f06be839f6).
At the moment, the changes are still undergoing testing. We discovered a few issues during review, and we want to ensure they are fully resolved before releasing the code to all. Please allow us a bit more time to finalize and polish the implementation.
We truly appreciate your support and patience
Wonderful, thank you for your transparency in the development. I am excited for this new feature.
How are we looking on this feature development?

Hello.
The changes are ready. You need to replace files in your store
1. Back up your website files and database first.
2. Download the AbanteCart 1.4.5 ZIP (https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/archive/refs/heads/1.4.5.zip)
3. Unzip it on your computer.
4. Open the public_html folder inside the downloaded package.
5. Find these 7 files:
* admin/controller/pages/tool/import_export.php
* admin/controller/pages/tool/import_upload.php
* admin/controller/task/tool/import_process.php
* admin/model/catalog/manufacturer.php
* admin/model/tool/import_process.php
* admin/view/default/template/pages/tool/import_wizard.tpl
* core/lib/data.php
6. Upload these files to your existing store, keeping the same folder locations.
You should replace only these 7 files, not the entire AbanteCart installation.
