I don't know hows your codecanyon scirpts working, but the scenario to achieve this is:

  1. Make Custom PostType/Custom Template that only works with logged-in users, Or you can check if detect the logged in user's session on that particular dashboard so that other users can't access it.
  2. Make custom login form and after success logged in, redirect the logged in user to that particular PostType/Template that you make for logged in users.
  3. I don't think the default WordPress upload works in front, so you have to create a custom upload scripts that upload the pdf files and store the credential of the user in wp_options table, with update_option()
