I'm creating a website for my homeowners association. They want the residents to be able to download forms and documents from the website. I know there's a way but unsure how. Is there a program through CC that allows me to do so? Do I have to code it up?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanita,

Downloading a PDF is easy. Just have a link to the PDF, and Adobe will load it and it can be saved from there. The link I use looks like this:
<a href="http://www.mysite.com/membership.pdf">form</a>

I am sure there are other ways, but I think any link to a MS DOC file will open in MS Word and you can save the file from there.

Maybe one of the experts around here will have a bit of code that does a direct download.

Thanks Bill. I'll have to try that. I don't have Adobe though, will that be a problem? The files are already in pdf so I'm assuming it's ok right? I guess what I need to figure out is how I create the code for it. *scratching head*
Thanks,
Thanita

I figured it out! I will just uploaded it to a file on my file manager, then add the link to it on the site. Duh! Sometimes I think too much into it!

Thanita,

Just a clarification. I said Adobe. Well Adobe makes more than one product. What I should have said was Adobe Acrobat will automatically load it. Most folks have a reader for PDF files installed on their computers, and since Adobe makes Acrobat, their reader is the one most folks use.

I really should put more thought into what I post.

Thanita,
Go to Adobe's site http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
and you can get their button and link to this site for anyone who does not have Adobe Reader. It's free.
