First we need the file name in order to replace. You can get this two ways. Clicking the button leads to Adobe Acrobat where you can see the name of the PDF at the top of the screen.

The second way is to hover over the button and in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, Drupal will give you the path of that button. At the end of the path, you can see the name of the file. In this case, it's "conf_fact_sheet.pdf".

Now the new file is in place. It will rename itself as the old file name, so there is no confusion if a user has an old link to the old file. It will automatically direct them to the new file because it has the same naming convention. If you are working with PDF accessibility and the case is the files look the exact same and you want to test that the file did get replaced, you can re-download this file and run it through the accessibility checker in Acrobat to check that this new file does pass accessibility.
