Re: Convert Publisher file to a PDF File

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I downloaded the filezilla. I can see my files. Do I drag the PDF file to
the index.htm file and then upload it? Or do I upload the PDF file in its own
file? I tried to upload the PDF file to my website, obviously I am doing
something wrong as when I click the link, nothing happens. More info needed
please! : )

Excuse me for butting in here, but if you are going to be uploading a number
of PDF files using FTP, then I would suggest that you download and install
Filezilla http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ . There is documentation on the
site that tells you how to set it up and use it. I would suggest that you
download and read it. It is an FTP client, and after you set it up, you will
be able to log in to your web space, and see what files and folder you have.
You should be able to find where you put the new folder to contain your PDF
files. Note though that if you are using a form on your site, then you
cannot use FTP. You would need to use HTTP uploading protocol.

Then I would suggest that you put the folder where the PDF files will be in
the same directory or folder that contains your index.htm file, and
index_files folder that are generated when you Publish to the Web from your
Publisher document. Then using Filezilla, you can upload your PDF files to
your folder.

As per the links, if you named your pdf folder say "PDFFolder", you would
write your link thus:
http://yourwebsite.com/PDFFolder/yourfile.pdf

I contact our host and she verified that I had created a folder on the
server. I (think) I have uploaded one PDF file in the folder as a trial.
How do I make sure that I did get the file in the folder once I am in
Publisher and then upload that pdf files and then publish them to the
website? I will have numerous pdf files in the folder and I will need to
link to each file individually. The steps I am taking are:File-Publish to
the web-save in httpdocs-click on pdf folder -This is where I am stumped.
I
see an index files (folder) in the box, as well as index.htm and
index.html.
I can't see what is in the pdf folder, therefore I can not click on the
individual PDF file. I would appreciate any help/suggestions that you
could
give me. Our host is not familiar with Publisher, therefore no help.

Usually, once you are connected to a site, your ftp program will offer
an option to create a new directory or folder. It varies from program to
program - check the menu items (File, Edit, Tools, etc) and see if
Create a folder, create a directory or such is an option. Sometimes, you
can right-click in a folder of the site and get an option to create a
folder or directory. You need to be sure, though, what folder or
directory you are in when you try to create a sub-folder.

When in doubt, ask your web host how to do it.

I am interested in the pdf document info. How do I go about "creating

am a
bit confused.

Just a thought. Why not convert your catalog to a pdf document, create
a
folder on your server, upload the pdf into the folder and put a link on
your
web site to the catalog so they can view on line.

I currently have a large publisher file in the guise of a catalogue
for my
buisness.
I wish to distribute this catalogue on a CD for my customers to
view, as
you
know not many people have Publisher, so therefore i wish to convert
my
catalogue to PDF or another sutable file type, then burn to a CD so
i can
distribute it in a programme that most people can view.
Cheers
