I have created the appropriate links for my pdf documents on each of my webpages. I have uploaded the website. From the website, the pdf forms will not open. I get the following error: HTTP 404 Not Found

It sounds like your files have gone out of sync. Here is what I would like you to do.

1. Go to the Publish Menu and select FTP Account Settings and select your FTP Account.

2. Verify that all information is correct and the Remote Folder path is not empty. Typically you would enter in a / or /public_html here but you need to confirm with your hosting provider what the correct path is. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THIS PATH IS CORRECT.

3. Go to the Publish Menu and select Choose a Publishing Destination and select your FTP Account and then click Save.

4. Finally, go to the Publish Menu and select Re-Sync Website.

With any luck, everything should be back to normal.

I will try all you have suggested. My remote folder is empty so I have emailed my provider. Thank you for the quick response!

You cannot leave that blank. At a minimum you should have just a / in there. However it would still be good to confirm with your host.
