- Is there any particle for gantry 5 that manages the file download (PDF for example) contained in a folder? Any topic in this regard is very old and referred to old versions of the RT templates. I'm looking for a very simple something that is compatible with gantry 5 and the current rwd rockettheme templates.

You can easily add a download link for a pdf, just do a normal link and then add the attribute "download" on that link.
<a href="yourpdflink" download>Download a pdf</a>
If you want a full blown download system then I recommend this one (which I use myself for clients) - https://www.joomunited.com/products/dropfiles .

Thank you as always for the hints and for the confirmation of what I had fear ...
The old website uses docman (by joomlatools), too complex and cumbersome; absolutely exaggerative for the only functionality that I need: the listing of the tens of pdf files (price lists) of a folder for the downloading for the registered users.
I was looking for something more spartan and simple but I'm afraid it does not exist. I wanted to avoid having to manually insert every single link in the article. - Riccardo Rausch

You could write your own particle from scratch to do it. But you would also have to write a php class to read the contents of a directory to get all the filenames and iterate though them in TWIG.

This is considered as a customization request which falls way beyond the scope of this support forum. You can always try to post your request in our The Marketplace forum and get (paid) support from someone that is willing to do this.
