Thread: PDF Documents into BV

How do I put a PDF document onto a BV page ??????
I get pdf documents via email and would like to insert them into
one of "sawgrassvillage.net" web page.

Nora

what is your request exactly, do you want your PDF file to appear as a page? means when visitor clicks the link, the pdf file opens, or download it?

It's really a question of how you want this to be seen as just stated. Explain more and we can give you better suggestions.

Just to click a link and the pdf file opens for others to resd.
No down load at this time.

Thanks
Nora

alright, that's pretty easy, just follow what I will say :For example :1 - your pdf file is called nora.pdf2 - let's create a folder just for pdf files inside your public_html, we'll call it pdf01.3 - upload your nora.pdf using BlueFTP or any FTP client you would use to upload your files into pdf01.4 - in your BV page, give your link the following url : www.yoursite.com/pdf01/nora.pdf (of course you will replace yoursite by your real web site domain name).Note : don't forget, when giving your link the url to the pdf file, the link type should be staying as it is by default in http.You're done.

sorry for that cranpy text, but I have something going on with my computer, I can't get back spaces or colors, the text goes in one paragraph, I DON'T KNOW WHY GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. anyway, what I wrote above should work perfectly, let us know what happens with you. if more questions, we are here.

OK I created a pdf folder using ftp and loaded my pdf file into it.

But I can't seem to link to it. ???
My link is http:www.domain.nt/pdf folder(name)/pdf file (name)
Should I have saved the pdf file as web page ? or what.

I think I'm close but no cigar yet.

Nora,
Your link should be www.yourdomain.com/yourfile.pdf after you insert the link, save and publish.

Sorry bill but she created the folder where there is the pdf file.

ok, follow again this steps to make sure that everything is alright.

1 - open you Blue FTP again and delete that folder you've created.
2 - go to your Cpanel > File Manager > public_html > and create the folder from there (I hope you know how to do that - otherwise let us know to tell you how).
3 - so then upload your pdf file into that folder this time using the BlueFtp.
4 - create the link as following www.yoursite.com/pdffoldername/pdffilename.pdf

you should be fine after doing this.

All is WELL,
Thank you very much for the help.
My PDF files & now My PPS files are up and running.

Thanks again
Nora
