Html Code Needed To Upload PDF??

r3000 · 04-29-2009, 06:33 AM

Hi All,

This may be a silly question, but here goes:

I'd like to include a link to a .pdf in an autoresponder series of mine. I've uploaded the .pdf to the server under the site in question using FileZilla.

I'd like the link to look like: mysite.com/myreport.pdf

I've created a page on my site with an "a href" pointing to the pdf and uploaded it to the server as well.??

I can't get the link to make the .pdf pop-up upon clicking (shows 404 error). Only thing I can figure is that i'm missing some HTML code to make this happen, or I've somehow got the pdf uploaded incorrectly (I've uploaded it under "mysite" which is under public_html)

Am I missing a step? Can anyone tell me where I'm off track?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

~Rob

Add mysite.com/myreport.html to your responder.

Add the below code into myreport.html including the full link to your PDF and you should get the desired effect though beware popup blockers

.

<html>
<title>Your PDF</title>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</head>

<body onload="open_PDF()">

</body>
</html>

If you uploaded the PDF to yoursite.com/downloads/, for example, and the name of your file is file.pdf, then this is how the html should look like on your page, or email.

HTML Code:

<a href="http://yoursite.com/downloads/file.pdf" target="_blank">FileName</a>

You can but any thing you want for FileName. You can also
just leave it as plain text on your autoresponder:

http://yoursite.com/downloads/file.pdf

You can even make it look like this: yoursite.com/file.pdf

HTML Code:

<a href="http://yoursite.com/downloads/file.pdf" target="_blank">YourSite.com/file.pdf</a>
