This is so obviously simple, but I don't know how to do it. I have a PDF of a poster that I want to make available for download on my web page. I am using Dreamweaver 8. How do I do it?
The simplest way is to have your pdf uploaded to your site as, say, download.pdf
On the web page from which it will be downloaded from have a link saying "click here to download" for example that links directly to the download.pdf file.
Clicking on that link will then give the surfer the download dialogue box straight away.
http://www.yoursite.com/pdf.pdf but of course it will be displayed like that, use the code in the above post for a better result. Just tell them to right click, and hit save as, or else it might load up in their browser. Most users will figure out how to save it onto the hard drive, while some might not.
