Having a downloadable pdf (food menu) on a site

Hi,
I am trying to design a page that has a food menu which is viewable and/or downloadable(PDF).
This site has a downloadable example, but I want to give the viewer the option of viewing or downloading.
http://www.cowgirlsantafe.com/menus
Any suggestions? How do you make a link start downloading automatically? Where do you place .pdf files within your site folder?
Thanks!
Gary

The menus on your example contain straight links to PDF files
<a href="menu1.pdf"> Link to Menu 1</a>
and they open in my web browser the same as any other PDF page would.
You can put your PDF files into a separate site folder if you wish.
yoursite.com/PDF/menu1.pdf
yoursite.com/PDF/menu2.pdf
yoursite.com/PDF/menu3.pdf

Downloading PDF files from reliable web-sites U-R-G-E-N-T

Hi,
Since last year I encounter regular (close to 100%) problems downloading PDF files from reliable web-sites (for sure web-sites from which I could troubleless download PDF files in the past) The result on my HDD : 0KB pdf file ! = An empty file
This is very anoying and I am sure I am not the only one who encounters this.
Please review your procedures and make this possible again.
Note: I uninstalled Adobe Reader, reset Safari, closed Safari, re-installed Adobe Reader : no results !
THANKS FOR HELPING ASAP !
I travel a lot and have to bring my files with me as internet is not always available in the countries where I work

Hi Christian,
I've had problems for ages with this but I did notice that after I went through the reinstall with Apple yesterday I now have a couple of different options that are working.
Yesteday I uninstalled reader, restarted my computer and then reinstalled again. I didn't think it had worked for me but after some extra experimentation I have discovered a couple of things.
On some websites eg: https://www.gatewaycu.com.au/uploadedFiles/PDF/Forms/Quick%20Debit%20Authority.pdf
it is coming up with a toolbar (I suppose it's called) at the top of the PDF and it is allowing me to print and save to my desktop, open the pdf and print YEAH.
Also with another website the PDF is showing up differently. eg http://media.wix.com/ugd/99e891_6110f024d956431abb7b66dd24f19251.pdf
This shows up like it used to but the difference is that if you try to save as or print throught the safari options like I used too it doesn't work, BUT if you hover down the bottom of the PDF it brings up a bar type box (sorry I don't know the technical word for this) then you can print, save to desktop, documents etc and then print from there too.
YEAH! It looks like (I hope) that the problem is solved. You have to go about it in a couple of different ways depending on the website, but hey, I don't think that's so bad as long as I can actually print my PDF's. It's better that not being able to access any of them which is what's been happening for the last few months.
I hope this helps you guys out and if you have any problems just let me know and I'll try and explain it better for you.
Cheers

I am having trouble downloading PDF files to my new iPad air. Works fine on my other iPads with iOS7 and iOS 5.

My other iPads easily download PDF files but my new iPad air is stumbling and the browser shuts down.

Hi John
iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb. This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well. This might be the common thread.

Having trouble downloading PDF file; blue arrow drops down after click on it, but goes nowhere

I am signed in on a bank account I have used in the past; trying to download a pdf which is a copy of my accounts, but cannot find out where pdf went.

Hello there,
To change the download folder for Firefox only:
1. Open a new tab to about:config (type about:config in the Awesomebar and tap the go arrow or tap Enter)
2. In the search box, type down and tap Enter
3. Scroll down to browser.download.folderList and tap Modify, then change the value from 1 to 2 (from default always to last used folder). The change should appear after a few seconds.
4. Scroll back up and tap the "Add a New Setting" button
5. String is the correct type, so OK that
6. The name of the preference should be browser.download.dir (this stores the last used directory)
7. The value should be /sdcard/ followed by the folder name you want to use, for example, /sdcard/FxDown
If you switch back to your other tab and download something, it should go to the new folder.

How do I add downloadable PDF files to my web site?

Help!
I'm creating a web site, and I need to add two buttons that, when clicked, will download two different PDF files. I have absolutely NO IDEA how to do this!!! Not a clue!
I'm using actionscript 3 and Flash CS4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thank you!
Kelly

Thank you everyone for your response!!!
I found this code on a tutorial :
var getFile:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://www.my_website_name.com/my_pdf_file_name.pdf");
pdf_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getMyFile);
function getMyFile(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(getFile,"_blank");
This code downloads a zipped file perfectly! However, it won't download or even bring up the pdf file. (I thought something might be wrong with the pdf file. I renamed it, used a completely different pdf file; nothing! I still get a blank page.)
Tiago, I tried implementing your code too... I know this should work!
I really appreciate all of your help!!! Thank you! Thank you!

Cannot view or download PDF files from secure web site with Reader X.

Ran into a similar problem when Reader X first came out (Reader 9 had been working fine). Only a blank window was displayed, but a work around was to "Save As" and use the view option to display and print the document. I recently had to replace my modem. Since then, that work around option is no longer available; it errors out saying that the file could not be downloaded. We are using IE9 and Windows 7. I tried another browser, Google Chrome, with the same negative results. Also, I got the same results on another secure website. I have deleted and downloaded another copy of Reader X (10.1.1) and checked for updates, run the Repair program, and confirmed that Protected Mode and AdobePDF.dll are both enabled. I looked at my Internet settings, too but found nothig that would obviously
interfere with Reader.

Usually, this message occurs with Windows. First time I've seen it with OS X. Looking into it.

Downloading pdf files in Safari

Lately I'm having trouble downloading pdf files that are open in the Safari window. I'm using the latest versions of Safari Adobe Reader on an IMac OSX 10.6.8. I used to download them simply with "command s", now it says "the document ... cannot be exported".
thanks for any help,

Sorry, no, this did not help. I cannot recommend doing this. As a result, pdfs are no longer displayed at all in Safari!!
I had found a different solution, though, in the meantime. In the dark grey toolbar that appears at the bottom of a pdf window in Safari once you mouse over the spot, there is this adobe symbol which looks like a windmill. if you click on it, the adobe reader toolbars appear at the top of the browser window. if you click THAT save button there, it works just fine.

Firefox cannot download pdfs on secured web sites .... any ideas?

For some months now I have been unable to download pdfs at the secured web sites of financial institutions. After talking with technicians they are all bewildered but point to browser or security settings but are unable to solve the problem. Do others have this experience?

Only security software (probably anti-virus software or the firewall) would show such a message if it was a Windows message, so you can check it there.
If it is a message from a Firefox extension then see this:

I am having problems creating PDF file and downloading them

I am having problems creating PDF file and downloading them

Hi Randy Keil,
You might need to sign up with your Adobe ID and password at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf"
Then you can choose the desired files to create the PDF.
Now, let me know what error message do you get while doing the same.
What kind of files are you trying to convert to PDF?
Have you checked with your internet connection and tried using a different browser?
Hope to get your response.
Regards,
Anubha

I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

I am having difficulty downloading attachments (i.e. pdfs, photos) from email. Is there a way to improve this process?

I am having difficulty downloading attachments (i.e. pdfs, photos) from email. Is there any way to make this process faster? Thanks!

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

I am having trouble with PDF 8.1 reader. Tried to download upgrade to 10.1 reader. Rec'd error mes

I am having trouble with PDF 8.1 reader. Tried to download upgrade to 10.1 reader. Rec'd error message. Message said Adobe 8.1 needed to be updated by this set-up? Isn't this part of download upgrade process?? How can I straighten this out?

It is always better to uninstall the older version when skipping versions. What is your operating system?

I am having trouble with pdf files continuously get damaged file message when try to open downloaded pdf with adobe reader

Cannot open downloaded pdf's with adobe reader. Have latest version of adobe program continuously get damaged file message. Anybody else having this problem? Using imac with osx10.7.1 (latest lion)

I am having the exact same problem. This is very disturbing.
Lately I have been deluged with adobe update dialogues. I don't know whether this is real or some kind of bugus malware phenomenon.
Imagine my surprise when I looked here in the forum and I am not alone.
Kaufmann's remark that we shouldn't be using adobe reader doesn't explain why it is malfunctioning like this. I have been using the reader on Mac OS for years, and I don't get what's happening now.
Does anyone realy know what is going on?

Is there some way of getting adobe to work without having to download a document first, then adobe will show the pages.

Hello,
I am trying to find out what I can do, to get adobe to open up a pdf file so that I can read all pages, without having to download the document first. I get the first page only; then I download and have access to all pages. Then I delete. Seems like such a long process. Is there another way? Do I need to download a different adobe?
Thanks for your help.

How are you seeing your document on iCloud from your laptop? Web browser, or OS X Pages open dialog?
If you have MS Word or .pages formatted files parked on iCloud, the web interface will not permit their download as PDF, and in fact, PDF is an inactive option in that download menu for these word processing files. There is no copy facility available, but duplicate functionality exists from the iWork category within the iCloud web presence.
If you have Pages v4.2 or later installed on your (assumption: Mac) laptop, launch Pages and in the open file dialog, select iCloud on the dialog toolbar. Now, press and hold the option key as you drag and drop a copy of our document from iCloud to your desktop. The reverse works also.
See if you can open that document on your laptop now.
