I would like to open a pdf from a link on one of my pages, but I'm having trouble seeing how to do that. I tried via "insert/edit image", browsed to the Asset Manager and changed the type of file to "document", and uploaded the pdf. A place holder for an image was inserted on the page, but I didn't see anywhere that the pdf was available to open. What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

What program are you using to create your website?

You can try to put a link to the PDF file. If your browser is set up, open the PDF file when someone clicks on the link.

Also tell us what is the address of the website where you have the problem.

I am using the Website Builder Admin Panel. I wanted to link to the PDF, and I uploaded the file, but I had a problem finding where the file was to link to it. I finally found it! I have it opening into another window, and it seems to be working fine. Thank you for the reply.

I am very new to this Host and web design. I have migrated here from MS Live when they closed up and am using Kompozer to edit now.

Our site www.mabas17.org was set up with links to PDF files on multiple pages. The files are loaded in the Public folder and on my computer with the same file name and both will open from there. When you go to the page the link is shown to my file location but don't open.

Can you show me what I am doing wrong.

The files are in a folder called "Documents" Have you uploaded a folder called this to the public_html folder?

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 .

Spinal & Shock, Thanks for the help so far.

I am making progress, the links I was trying were to the whole file string. I have edited them to the actual file names now and are getting another window to open but with the 404 error message.

@ tmkjlk:

On your homepage for example, you have this link..

http://mabas17.org/Documents/Pearl%2...20accident.pdf

.. but there is no such document.

You have this link..

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

.. but your document is here..

http://mabas17.org/Documents/mabas-i...fetypolicy.pdf

You must have the correct spelling for filename links and, very importantly, they are case-sensitive.

I think I have cleaned up some of the links but still don't know what I am doing. I have uploaded the files with a FTP to the Public folder and into the flders for the specific pages but when I try to link to the files it wants to link to the files on my computer. How do i get it to link to the files that I have uploaded?

In ftp if you right click the file you can edit there and put the correct path straight in.
