    Made website with MS Publisher 2003

    Uploaded to web host index.htm
    Uploaded to site my pdf file in same folder as index.htm

    Your index.htm file would be at the url of
    [url]http://mysite.com/index.htm[/url]

    you state you put the pdf file in the same location as the index file, so
    that means it would have the url of

    [url]http://mysite.com/file.pdf[/url]

    yet you state your link uses the url of

    [url]http://mysite.com/folder/file.pdf[/url]

    Correct the URL in the link to be the address of the file and you'll have a
    "found" page.

    Hi David:

    Did all this and still not working. So let me be as precise as I can.

    My web site is: [url]www.tecmontreal.com[/url]

    When I signed up with web host and using WS_FTP Pro I have there a folder
    named "jarin".

    OK so I uplodaded index.htm to web host in jarin folder
    Uploaded pdf file also to jarin folder
    Uploaded index_files also to jarin folder

    Now the way I see it is that my link should be:

    [url]http://www.tecmontreal/jarin/myfile.pdf[/url]

    I felt I should have jarin in there for consistency.

    Doing all this it still does not work

    Thanks for yur help

    Jacques

    the folder jarin is only the physical folder on the server, it has nothing
    to do with your url, remove that from the URL path and never use it in your
    url.

    on the 'physical' server this - "c:\blah blah blah\jarin\mypdf.pdf"

    is 'virtually' this - [url]www.yourdomain.com/mypdf.pdf[/url]

    Default Re: Link does not work with PDF file

    Looking at your site I don't see where the link in question is?

    btw I see you are doing a lot of underlining text. That is very bad design,
    only hyperlinks should be underlined. Else how does a visitor distinguish a
    hyperlink from plain text and vice versa.

    Default Re: Link does not work with PDF file

    maybe I found it.... "tec CEO's job.pdf" ?

    first off that file name has all the bad things you do not do online. (see
    my faq - [url]http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30[/url] )

    change it to "tecceojob.pdf", re-upload it, change the hyperlink
    accordingly, republish web page, try again.

    Default Re: Link does not work with PDF file

    The underlines hafta go! Also the color of those underlined items look too much
    like the purple of a visited link, further confusing matters.

    Just a matter of personal taste, but I would get rid of the "mission
    (statement)", the "vision" and the "values". It is hokey to the max. I will
    reserve comment on the psycho-babble that makes up the rest of the copy on the
    site...

    Here is a good mission statement:
