Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To use conditional output, based on the file's type/extension, you'll need a custom shortcode, that can return the file's extension ( i.e. pdf, xls etc ), from its URL.

This reply has a good example of such custom shortcode and its usage in the conditional output:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
