pdf downloads?

woofbarkdonkey · #1 07-09-2008, 04:44 PM

Hi, I have built a site & published it.......I tried to do it without bugging you guys & have managed to find solutions to my problems by going though the forum but no matter what I do I can't work out what I've done wrong with the pdf files on the download page??

The site still has some content missing as the people I am building it for have been a bit on the slow side sending it to me. I'm sure it needs lots of tweaking & changes but at the moment I just want the pdf's to work........

If anyone can shed a little light on where I've gone wrong I would be really grateful.

Here's the link if someone could take a look

Thanks in advance.

I did mine this way:

1. Created a folder called "downloads" in my FTP manager's right pane (within "public_html).

2. Found my pdf files in the left pane (searched my C drive) and dragged them into my new downloads folder (right pane again).

3. Put graphics on my web page, one for each pdf file.

4. Right clicked the first graphic, clicked on the "Link" tab and put in the entire link to the file I wanted in the downloads folder:

http://www.clamcentral.com/downloads/oneshot2.pdf

5. Rinse and repeat for all pdf files.

I see RHU Flyer 1 is working now, so I guess you have figured out the solution.

By the way, can I ask what program you used to create the pdf files? Of all the hundreds of pdfs I've looked at or downloaded, yours is the only one that opens in a narrow column that CANNOT be resized either with the resize icon or by dragging an edge. Perhaps it's the program that's causing troubles.

Haven't done anything.........very strange? I used photoshop.

I followed those instructions in the link but I didn't make them into zip files.

Totally clueless as to what to do now.

Could someone tell me how the wording & banner looks as I have been told they are overlapping, but they look fine on my pc???

I'm starting to get a headache now.

they look fine. They might see it in a different screen resolution.
