How do you create a Download?

[leesmee]

I have been trying to creat a link that Downloads a PDF file. The result of my attempt is to upload into the browser screen

Any advise would be welcomed.

Use the <a href=&quot;yourpdf.pdf&quot;> PDF </a>, when the user clicks on this link the PDF file will open up in the browser and from there the user can download it. There is no other way, besides making the PDF a zip file, and linking the ZIp as an download... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

Hey leesmee,
You could put a message saying
if the user wants to view the pdf to click the link
if the user wants to download the pdf to right click and &quot;save target as&quot;
Sorry couldn't be of more help,
Tim

You can use a bit of activex technology to load the PDF in its native application.
