How can I upload a Pdf for download? I tried using the file manager, but it doesn't work. It only gives me the option of adding it to the project when I insert some kind of size, and when I do so (which is weird to do with a pdf - length x width?), and add it to my project, it still doesn't show up on the website. Is it not possible? And if it is, is it also possible with a .doc file?
I appreciate any help!!
Thanks!

create a folder on your server, use an ftp software to download it to the folder you made and put a link in your website.

Well, you can upload a pdf via the Indexhibit Files Manager. You don't need the size part...just ignore than. Then, with the little downward arrove, insert it into your page. Be sure you add some text to the link...

  1. <a href='mypdf.pdg'>TEXT FOR THE LINK HERE</a></a>

Hi there -- think this is where I'm looking to find more direction as well (my goal is to have pdfs for download on the site).

What I've been doing:

1. I klick on the folder icon to upload a pdf instead of an image.
2. File manager window opens with name of teh file
3. I knlick on the downward arrow
4. Code appears
5. No file appears on the site

Am I missing a step?
Thanks in advance!

When you do everything, you have :

  1. < a href='http://thelinktoyour.pdf'>< /a>

But if you don't put anything between the brackets…

  1. < a href='http://thelinktoyour.pdf'>Blablah< /a>

I'm having problems with uploading a pdf

when I go into the file manager window with the name of the file and click on the downward arrow it gives me this code:

but nothing shows up

when I put in this code:
Download Resume Here

when clicking on the link it directs me to a page that says:

Not Found

The requested URL /my resume.pdf was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

any thoughts?
