HTML - Can't Download Pdfs From My Website
Has anyone ever had trouble getting a PDF file to download from a link? On my site (http://www.banffridgechalets.com/design_plans.htm), I'm having trouble. It seems to start in Firefox but then cascades to IE (so if you try it only in IE, you may not notice the problem). You're supposed to be able to view a PDF by clicking on one of the thumbnails, but sometimes (not all the time) in Firefox, clicking on the thumb results in a blank page being displayed, and sometimes Firefox freezes. If I right click and select save as..., I can download the PDF but then it doesn't open when I double click on it.
Anyone ever seen this problem? Know a solution? Similar TutorialsHey Folks, Newb here... I am trying to put a .pdf file in my webpage, that people will be able to download at a click. I dont want the file actually embedded in the page. I know it has to be pretty simple but cant find the answer on the web. Any help appreciated pwalsh22 so basically i just want to put a download link on my website, where you click on it and the download thing pops up, just a file from my server Probably an question that everybody will be able to answer, but Im a total newbie :-) I know that is has something to do with a ftp client hehe will be happy for any help, thx guys and girls anyway :-) Don I have a web site where some of the pages are password protected using php script. This works fine on html pages, but I also have some pdf files that I want to protect. Now the pdfs are not protected. They are linked to images in an index page and when the image is clicked, the pdf is opened in a new window. I now want to protect the pdfs. I want my users to be able to access the index page and see the images, but when they cliick the image to the view the actual pdf, they are prompted for a usercode and password. Since the protection I use on my protected html pages is based on php, I assume I will have to create a cover page for each pdf and link the index page image to that php page instead of the pdf. This I know how to do. What I don't know how to do is to have the php page open the pdf directly without user intervention and when the pdf window is closed by the user the php page also closes and returns the user to the image index page. In other words, I want the php page to be completely invisible to a user who has already logged on and invisible except for the login prompt for the user who has not yet logged on. Anyone have any suggestions? Hi, I have a very simple website with a countdown timer on it (http://lemoeonline.freehostia.com/1.htm sorry about all the crap, it should only really have the countdown on it....I forgot to delete the rest). What I am wanting to do is have a separate webpage where users can download that page, but with a date they specify in a form. So, they would go to page a, enter a date, then download page b witch would have the customized code in it......Is this possible? Im not really sure where to start on this one, so im looking for any suggestions! Thanks alot, Lemoe I have placed some mp3 files into a folder in my httpdocs. Then I emailed the link to a file. When I select the emailed link, the mp3 plays. But I'd like to download the file, but I don't see where/how. When I right click the link, my only choices a Select All Look Up... Translate... The greyed-out (unavailable) choices a Cut Copy Paste Clear Shouldn't it be when I right click the link the choices should be Save Save As I'm using IE, and the same is true when i put the url in the browser of when I Alt-F. Save is still greyed out. How can I do this correctly so it's easy to download the file? Thanks.
