Dear Ms Warner,

I have purchased and enjoyed your Dreamweaver MX For Dummies book. I have created my first web site by using your instruction.

I have a question, however, on how to make it possible for a person or business to download my resume from my site. I am using my site to demonstrate and exhibit the animations I am creating while at the same time as a marketing tool. I have seen in some sites a link that says “click here to download resume” or “click here to download PDF.”

Can you point me in the right direction to solve this problem? I have read your book from cover to cover and cannot find a reference to this type of link.

Thank you for your kind attention,
Dreamweaver Dummy, David

Hi David,

Adding a link to a PDF file is easy. Just copy the PDF file into the main root folder of your site and then create a link from the HTML page you want it on to the PDF file.

You create the link to a PDF just as you’d create any other link. First, highlight the text or image you want to serve as a link. Then click on the link icon and select the filename of the PDF in the link dialog. And that’s it. When you preview the HTML page and click on the link, the PDF will open in Acrobat Reader if it’s available.

You can also give visitors the option to download the PDF. When visitors view a PDF in Acrobat Reader in a web page, they can also save it to their hard drive.

Hope that helps,
Janine
