pdf files

[honeyb19 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Would anyone happen to know why I can't have a link on my webpage for a PDF file? We need the link for customers to download a document, and we have it in other formats and they work.

How can I have a ink for .pdf file that will allow to download the file? Right now, it just comes up with the "Page annot be found" warning.

Thanks a bundle,
honeyb19

Either you didn't upload the PDF or the link is wrong.
Can you show the code or a URL?

And name the file so that it doesn't have spaces in it's name. Those spaces might cause some troubles.. =)

I've asked around about this myself and the word I got was that in order for the file to be downloaded instead of displayed in your browser it has to be a file that your browser won't understand. if you have Adobe acrobat or reader installed then your browser will understand it and it will be displayed instead of downloaded, however your customer can click on the save as in the toolbar. If you don't have the reader or Acrobat installed then it will download. Some people have suggested to .zip the file to make sure it's downloaded instead of displayed.


Always remember, no matter where ya go....there ya are!

That's not entirely true. It depends on the content-type and
content-disposition headers sent by the server.

It is an asp-file on its own.

Why in the root ?

> and would this secure the pdf files

That depends on what you call "secure".

If your logon code is secure, and you do not divulge the real directory of
the pdf, then reasonably so. Asp-coded logon sends the password
nonencrypted over the net.

It is never secure if you do not exactly understand what you are
programming.

I think a security related project with asp is not a beginners task.

You first have to get aquainted with asp, and perhaps also with vbscript
and/or javascript serverside.

Try some more simple and short codes and read and read what others have
don, trying to duplicate it on your own system in very small portions just
for your own use or testing.

Using code you do not completely understand is bad for your own education
and possibly dangerious in your application. Unlike clientside coding a
small serverside mistake can lay your whole system open to malicious
attack.

When I worked on my page in Pub 2002, I did a hyperlink on
some pages to .pdf files. Now the links don't go
anywhere...I uploaded the .pdf files in hopes it would
know to go to them...but no luck.

Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks!

Michelle

[Don Schmidt]

What I do is put the available pdf files in a directory and then where they
are listed, create the link to the file in the directory.

My web site is:

[url]http://www.pacifier.com/~dschmidt/osia_vancouver_usa/index.html[/url]

In the location where all the html and gif files there is the directory
"il_messaggio" where all the issues reside.

The link path for the January 2004 issue is:

[url]http://www.pacifier.com/~dschmidt/osia_vancouver_usa/il_messaggio/2004_01.pdf[/url]

It is mandatory that the font case (either upper or lower) be followed
exactly.

Ciao,

As Don points out, your urls in the hyperlinks MUST match the url of the
location of the pdf file. Otherwise you get links that go nowhere.

Thanks again, David. I read your suggestion on your site
and it makes sense...so if I have built a 20 page site all
as one, is there hope for me? Any way to convert it to
single pages? You are exactly right, I was having to
upload everything again when I had only made a change to
one page.

Do I then make a new page that will contain the .pdf
file? Do I paste the .pdf file into that? I'm still not
clear. Thanks.

no page contains another file.
files link to one another.
all files regardless of type.
that is what a web site is, linked files.

myhomepage.htm linked to mypics.htm
is the same thing functionally as
myhomepage.htm linked to mypdffile.pdf

Publisher will not create .pdf files. You will need thrid party software. I
use Adobe Acrobat for mine. I've also created an ad for a magazine and sent
it to the print house. They had no trouble handling the file.

There are several low-cost (and free, I think) programs available. However,
I'm not sure if you can produce a CMYK file with them. You do tend to get
what you pay for. Do a search in Google and see what you can learn.

who is requiring me to send a different format. She is using Quark, but she

It is being printed 4-color process (glossy) on the inside cover of a
catalog. I cannot find a pdf format inside publisher 2002, is there a
comparable format? This ad has a 4-color photo in it and I am concerned
about losing the quality of the photo through the format transfer. She also
said a jpeg file might work, will I lose the quality if I transfer it to
this format too? Do I have another option? I know I could send her the photo
and she could re-create it in Quark, but she doesn't have the font Vivaldi.

CMYK color isn't something I get into but in Publisher 2000, the Help file
has some guidance for Publisher to convert RGB to CMYK.

How do I attach/insert a pdf file to a web site/page that has been designed in Publisher 2003. I can get the web page entered into the publisher web page, but when I "view in the web" layout it does not open
Thank you
