embed a pdf? is this possible?

[sheila123]

I'd like to put a link in an EZ page so that people can open a pdf file from my site.

Is this something can be done? And if so, how?
Thanks,
Sheila

Certainly. Upload the PDF to your server, and embed a link to it in your EZ-Page

I tried that but it said the file couldn't be found. First I tried uploading it to a new folder in my main area, then I uploaded them again to my image folder.
Still didn't work.

Is there a special place to upload too?
Geez, it sounds so simple, lol.

Thanks,
Sheila
Oh, maybe it's in the way I'm writing the code? It would link to Http: //www.mywebsite/folderuploadedto/filename.pdf

? Or is this wrong?

I've figured it out myself incase anyone else has the same problem and needs an answer.

Upload the ftp file to your main area (in my case, it's using my file manager for my website through my host). For others it may be a program like Filezilla.

I uploaded the file to mywebsite.com/myfilename.ftp

then I went into my easy pages and put the URL for that file into my wording where I wanted it on the EZ page.

My case:

I used the link button in the toolbar where you edit the info on the specific EZ page. I had to cut and paste the URL in there because for some reason, I cannot TYPE into the area that wants the URL...I can only cut and paste (I dunno) Anyhow, I just simply highlighted the word(s) that I wanted the link attached too, and clicked the link icon...pasted my URL in there which was MYWEBSITE.COM/MYFILENAME.ftp

Updated (saved the page) and done!

NOTE: as you can see by my previous posts in this topic, I couldn't get my link to work until I uploaded it to my main area....not in any folders. I'm sure you might be able to do this, I don't know...but it only worked for me uploading to that main area.

I have a couple of PDFs on one of my sites. I uploaded them to the folder named "pub". I believe that's what it's for. Other folders will likely have permission issues for something that you want people to download. But "pub" is just that, public.

The URL you use in your EZ Page is simply <a href="pub/your-file-name.pdf">
