Posting the same issue several times and in different threads does not conform to forum guidelines and is frowned upon!!

how do I change the link address for page 3?
If you are referring to the url address - - you can not....

You would have to create a define page named as you need

The about us 3rd party module can be used as a guide to create/edit the approx 8 files needed

If only what appears in the frontend box then Kim as provided the link

Re: Really need help, under deadline

If I broke the rules, then I am sorry, however as I said I have asked the question several times and then lost track of where the thread after days of no answer and wanting to check it again...I want to change the url for the link showing as Page 3 in my more information box...if that cannot be done, then I need to know how if possible to put a pdf in page 3 that will open when the link for page 3 is clicked on...thank you

Re: Really need help, under deadline

Perhaps I am not explaining myself properly...I need to add a link to my more information box under the about us link...to open a pdf file...I don't care if the pdf opens by itself in a popup, or inside another page or what...I just need to place a link right where I indicated that opens the file one way or another...I had thought to place a page 3 link there and simply change the URL and name (I know how to change the name, just not the address), but if this cannot be done, then I need to figure out how to do what I outlined above. Thank you all for your help...it is greatly appreciated.

Just ues the admin > tools > define page editor and load page_3
and enter something like

<embed src="/pub/test.pdf" width="600" height="900">

Assuming that you place the pdf in /pub and you know the size of the doc
See demo and select page_2

Re: Really need help, under deadline

Ok, uploaded the file to the pub directory and put the embed code into page 3...when I clicked on it (and the demo) I got an Acrobat error saying that the operation was not allowed...any idea what the problem could be?

That is the trouble trying to use a pdf as it is dependent upon what the user has set and not under your control

Try looking in your FF browser > tools > options > application tab > see what you have set fr adobe acrobat doc, forms etc

A link to it and I can validate that it functions
Then it is up to you to work out your browser issue
