Can PDFs be uploaded to the surveys in ODK Collect?

I have a job where technicians fill out surveys in ODK Collect by uploading images, and I was wondering if they can also upload PDF's as answers to these surveys?

Look at the file upload widget

You are using build and not xlsform. Please specify when asking support.
Not sure if build supports it.

Sorry, so there is no way to upload a PDF file?

Build does not have the file upload widget, but XLSForm does. You can export your Build form to XLSForm and add the file upload widget.

@Julian_gp I assume you are not familiar with XLSForm. Please have a look at https://xlsform.org/en/. It enables you to write the form in excel files. A lot of examples are also given, both in ODK docs and XLSForm website. You can code your form to upload files if you are using XLSForm coding.
