I cleaned out the history on this thread so I don't know where you might be
on a solution.

This is how I make pdf files available for download from my website.

Create a folder on the server in the same place you upload your website
files; call the folder downloads

Upload your pdf file/s into the downloads folder. In this case the file is
ravioli.pdf

Edit you website to include a link; in this case a statement like

Get your Ravioli recipe here.

Select with the mouse the word here

Do an Insert Hyperlink and a box opens

In the box type

http://www.yourdomain.com/downloads/ravioli.pdf

OK

Upload your new website files.

Note: case is important; don't use any spaces

If your file was bene ravioli.pdf change it to ravioli.pdf or
beneravioli.pdf or bene_ravioli.pdf

What is the URL of your site
Will look at it and see what is going on
