I’m working on a Drupal project that requires building a simple document library page.

The idea is to have a single page that displays a few categories/buildings. When a user clicks a category, the category page opens and displays all PDFs related to it.

On the category page, I also need:

• search by file name only
• pagination, since each category can have a lot of PDFs

I mainly need help with how to start and structure this properly, since I only started working with Drupal last year and haven’t really built anything like this from scratch before.

Would you use content types + file fields, Media, taxonomy, Views, or some mix of these?
