Link to PDF not working

Ok, so I inserted the link to PDF action. Then selected the file and made
sure that the file was in the same folder. When I click on the link there is
only a new window with a blank screen.

Not sure what you mean about this because it doesn’t matter where this PDF is on your Mac as FW uploads it to the server for you.

Make sure that you have named your PDF file correctly - don’t use spaces or strange characters in the file name - stick to underscores ‘_’ and hyphens ‘-’ and that it has the .pdf suffix.

Ok I will try that. What did you do to get my website uploading to work with
iPage?

I sent you an email with a pic of the settings - did you not get it?

The PDF link just takes me to a empty page. I want it to let me download the
PDF when I click on it.

Is there nothing in your PDF?

If you want a PDF to download rather than be viewed in a browser (normal behaviour) then you are better to zip it which will force a download or you will need to do some server side tweaking - which I suspect iPage will not allow you to do.

It involves some code in the .htaccess file.

If you want to try and dont mind fiddling on your server we can point you in the right direction.
