PLS RPT IN ENGLISH THANSK

We have a runaway winner for email of the day:

"i have a pdf file which needs converting to a webpage. should i save the pdf in the spreadsheet or wait unti it has been made into a web page first?"

This is from the person responsible for communications in what is probably the second most externally-facing department of the Administrative Services.

Now I admit that sometimes I am wilfully obtuse with content providers, in a probably-doomed attempt to get them to communicate more clearly, but in this case I don't have to pretend: this time I really don't have a clue what they're talking about.

After reading that, it sounds like they want to put a new PDF up, with a link to it in the spreadsheet as per, and they are asking whether to do the link now or wait until the pdf is up. The answer is wait, as otherwise you put up a sheet with a link that points nowhere. It's not clear though, so somebody ought to create a (or point them at the existing) written procedure for this scenario (and the similar ones they might really be talking about)
