Overview
JCE Editor PRO features a new "Insert/Edit File" button that can be used to quickly upload and link to a file while editing an article. For websites with a small number of PDF files, this is a good alternative to DOCman.
If you anticipate that your website will need to include dozens of files, DOCman is a better option, since it allows you to move and rename documents without breaking any links to them.
