Downloading a pdf

Freeway
1

Hi all,

I am new to freeway so please excuse the question which I am sure is not rocket science!!

I have built a web page and want to place an image which when clicked downloads a pdf. I can get it so it opens the pdf in a new window but just can’t find how to download it.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Jon,
Normally this is left to the user’s browser to decide what to do with
the file - display it in the browser, hand it over to a helper
application (or plug-in) or simply download it. If your server has
access to PHP and you are using Freeway Pro then you could try this
action;

Tim.

You could also zip the pdf and have the link point to the zip. That
will cause a download of the ziped pdf file.
