This was a quick hack to upload a PDF to Clearer Conscience.
This script was a quick hack to allow a PDF to be uploaded to replace an outdated one on Clearer Conscience. As the PDF link on the site is hard-coded, the new PDF must have the same name as the old one.
You can only upload a PDF. The old PDF will be renamed (as a back-up), and the new PDF will be uploaded and renamed and will therefore replace the old one.
