A little note about styling an action like this.

If you insert a space character before and after an action when it is inline like this then you can select all the text ‘space-action-space’ and apply styling as you would normally.

Question: is it possible to apply a PDF download directly to a css menu item?

The text is edited using the Actions palette. Click once on the inline
Action-item to select it, then look in your Actions palette.

Thx Walter
hope you are well.
ok
I did do this
inline pdf action space before went to Inspector, changed font but it does not stay that way. it changes back to 18px instead of 14

I also tried before and after PDF action but same thing

its really no big deal as I already solved this problem in link styles the first way I did it, but I like to try all methods. and for more control

Rather than try and place a space after the action it is easier to cut the action from the box, type the spaces and paste it back in between your spaces.

Yes - just create the link as you would to any External place but you will need to get the PDf onto your server. Either using the Upload stuff action (or similar) or via FTP

If you use Upload Stuff you can either set the destination of the file(s) as ‘Upload to Resources’ or ‘Upload to HTML location’

‘Upload to HTML location’ is probably easier to manage

So if you have a PDF called mypdf.pdf set to ‘Upload to HTML location’ then select your text that you want to link from. Edit>Hyperlink

Choose External in the dialogue box

Then type


http:///www.yourwebsite.com/mypdf.pdf

Without the < and >. This assumes that the pdf was uploaded with your index.html page or another at the root of your site.

Now if you actually want the PDF to download, rather than open in the Browser, zip it first.

Or search the threads for Topics like Force Download for server side ways of forcing PDFs to download

If you want a file that would normally be dealt with in the browser to download you can try the Force Download (PHP) Action;
