adding pdf links in publisher for the web

[arny]

I used publisher 2007 to create a web site. When I checked my site the
hyperlinks to other web sites worked fine, but the links to the pdf files
that I put in publisher don't do anything on the web site.
What should I do.

Amy,
If your goal is to have pdf files available for visitors to download, this
is the way I do it:

Create a folder on the server; call it downloads

Upload into the downloads folder all of the pdf files you wish to make
available to your visitors.

On your webpage you could have a link to the downloads folder which then
would display a list of all of the files within

or

You can build a link to each file in the downloads folder.

Here's how to create the link to the folder.

On your webpage it could have a line, i.e.,

Get Amy's recipes here.

With the mouse highlite the line (or a word) Get Amy's recipes here.

Select Insert, Hyperlink and type in the box

http://www.yourdomain.com/downloads/
OK


Now if you wish to link to each specific file it would be,

Same files are uploaded to the downloads folder on the server,

On your webpage you would type

Get Amy's Apple Pie recipe here.

Gather the line or a single word, i.e., Apple Pie (OK two words)
Insert, Hyperlink, type

http://www.yourdomain.com/downloads/apple_pie.pdf apple_pie.pdf is the
name of this file.
OK


Same for peach_pie.pdf, blueberry_pie.pdf etc.


Note for clarity; where I stated yourdomain, I mean your domain.

Let us know how things go.

Ciao,
