Re: How to link a pdf document to a webpage for down load ?

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

Thanks David. Basics! i'm a master now!
Yes trying to be more consistent and thinking about adding a folder for
downloads but wanting to buy Expression Web 3 for an even better look. Trying
to copy and paste Chinese content from a suppliers website into a word doc
then convert to PDF but its comes up a mess. Any tips? Can i add a folder in
public_html for pictures which are actually saved website pages?
Is there anyway i can somehow transfer my files, content from PUB to
Expression or do i have to start from scratch? What are the benefits of
expression and how much different is it to PUB?
Is it o.k to delete the external files from local site in FTP as there are
many similiar files, some English, some Chinese?
Links to JPEG's aren't as good as PDF's, anyway of converting a JPEG to a PDF?

Cheers

Hi Brad,

I read the thread between you and John G. in the regular newsgroup and it
appears that you got the basics down, and are getting your links to your
external files working. What is your question in this post?

I noticed a couple things from the other group... You are currently just
loading your external files into your 'public_html' folder...your root
folder or root directory. What John was suggesting was to create a subfolder
or another directory within the 'public_html' folder to contain your
external files instead of just letting them loose. He suggested a subfolder
called 'my_stuff'. I would suggest something even more simple such as
'downloads'. Then your link would be changed to:
http://www.daltonwineltd.com/downloads/TNotes_05CR_CabMerlot_CH2960.pdf ,
instead of http://www.daltonwineltd.com/TNotes_05CR_CabMerlot_CH2960.pdf .

I suggested 'downloads' instead of 'my_stuff' because I think using the
underscore confuses people. When you look at John's link you can't tell that
there is an underscore because of the hyperlink underline. This suggests to
people that they can put spaces in there file names, and that can break the
links at worst, and at best create a bad looking link. For example you have
a link:
http://www.daltonwineltd.com/2008%20BQ%20Cab%20Sav%20South%20Eastern%20Australia.doc .
All the '%20's in the link are spaces in your file. Either use the
underscore in the file or don't use either and instead use all lower case or
perhaps 2008BqCabSavSouthEasternAustralia.doc...in other words use upper
case for each new word. What ever you do be consistent so that you don't
make mistakes in your files and link writing.

Once again, it is not clear what your question is in this post. Please post
again. And for others who have happened upon this post the central question
is how to include external files in a Publisher web, and the best article
describing this is: Including external files in a Publisher web:

You need to change the address by editing the hyperlink in your local
Publisher file by adding your website address URL/PDF file name, then
upload
the pdf to your remote site by double click public_html on the remote FTP
site and transferring the pdf using the arrow to public_html
The problem is: the pdf doc is on your local site, thats why the link does
not work. the address is local address when you created the hyperlink. So
just upload the pdf to your remote public_html then change the address by
amending the hyperlink on your local PUB file.
Check the link on preview after you have worked out the correct address
when
editing hyperlink, but the pdf also needs to be under your remote
public_html. Ther are also other ways to fix the problem

I have made a website in Publisher 2007 and am fairly new to web design.

I have an Adobe document I want to add for download/print. I have put an
icon on a page and now want to link to it so that when you click on the
pdf
icon it opens the pdf format form to print.

I tried saving the document in the local file for the website, then
using
the add hyperlink to local file or folder but when i open my web page in
explorer and click on the icon nothing happens. When I hover over the
icon it
shows there is a hyperlink

Frustrated new to web design.
