How can I allow users to download a PDF file from my site
Hi,
I would like to install a button on my website that allows the user to download a PDF file. Is this possible and how do I do this? Thank you.

To have the PDF as a download instead of a web page you need to place it in a zip file first and upload that to your site. Your visitors then download the zip file and unzip it to get the PDF.
If you just load a PDF to your site then most web browsers will display the pages online instead of making the file available for download.

It's harder with PDFs, but the way I've always done it is this: Download this here
What it does is it opens a .pdf and then you can always save it to your harddisk. If I find any more code for that, I'll let you know.
Or you can do Download and have them extract it from the .zip.
