Can you show me what I am doing wrong.
I think your problem is in the actual way you named the pdf file
exmaple

you have

http://mabas17.org/Documents/MABAS-I...y%20Policy.pdf

MABAS-IL%20ATV%20Safety%20Policy.pdf


now where you see the (%20) these are SPACES you have.

I suggest you try playing with the actual name of the file so the the url is something more like this

I replaced the spaces with _

http://mabas17.org/Documents/MABAS-I...ety_Policy.pdf

if that does not work, I would also replace the - for _ in the MABAS-IL

So, basically what you want is EXAMPLE;

ThisIsMyFILEbywhomeverIam.pdf

or

This_Is_My_FILE_by_whom_ever_I_am.pdf

and not

This Is My File by whom ever I am.pdf




And that my friend is what you were doing wrong .
