Drop Down To Select & Open Old PDF...

I am trying to design a solution where a user could click on a drop down list and select an old newsletter (in PDF format) and have that PDF document open up for them (either on the same page or a different page). Looking around the 'help' and forums for Web Form Builder I am not finding what I am looking for. Any solutions / recommendations would be appreciated.

I am attempting to replicate a solution I created using another website developer found in this website (look at the drop down under Newsletters on top left)

That should be easy enough. Just create a dropdown list with the various pdf's, with links to the actual files.

Thanks James D - that worked perfectly. I would still be interested in learning how to get the Web Form solution to work (for future reference). I know I can set up a contact list and add in the email addresses, but I am not certain how to code the drop down for PDF files (e.g. under option value this code works for emails President Couple (Joe & Sandy Smith):President Couple<president_couple@swmi-decolores.org>) so I am assuming there is some code similar to Fall 2009:<C:\Forms\Fall 2009.pdf>

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
