PDFs uploaded using the 'file' content type — These are PDFs properly uploaded through Drupal's File content type and linked to a node ID. This is the recommended approach and what this tutorial covers.

PDFs linked directly or embedded in content — These are PDFs that were linked directly in WYSIWYG editors or hosted externally (often appearing as https://www-s3-live.kent.edu/s3fs-root/s3fs-public/... URLs). A separate dashboard tracks these files.
