How can I install a 'download' button on a blank webpage that contains a PDF?

I'm an actor who uses iWeb09 to create my website. On the page I created for my resume', I placed a text box with the title at the top of a blank page, and then dragged a PDF into it.
Now, I know that people who view the page can right click (Control click Mac) the mouse and choose a download option from the menu. But my manager strongly urged me to put a 'download' button up there for anyone who doesn't know you can use the 'right-click/control-click' method. There doesn't seem to be a widget for this function. Is there a way I can make a button that will perform that download function?
Thanks in advance,
D. Gleason

There are two ways of forcing a file to download rather than display. The simplest is to zip it - then it will download automatically. Obviously the person at the other end has to unzip it, but I believe that pretty well all modern computers can handle this.
The other is more complicated. It involves creating a special folder on your server for you to upload the file into, then adding a text file which you have to make invisible. This isn't as difficult as it sounds, and only needs to be done the once (every file added to that folder will then download when linked to). The method is described here:

    How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    OS X cannot natively write to a drive formatted as NTFS, nor can it format a drive as NTFS. There are third-party NTFS drivers available on the market.
    Just out of curiosity: Even with NTFS, how is your TV going to access the external hard drive? Does the TV have a USB port?

  • How can I install internet download manager as an extension on my Firefox 5?

    I can't install IDM 5.19 on my Firefox5

    All of your Firefox data is stored in the profile folder.
    * [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    ** The ''extensions'' subfolder contains add-ons like extensions and themes (but not plug-ins; plug-ins are third-party software installed in your operating system).
    ** Some extensions may create data folders (e.g. /adblockplus) or files (e.g. stylish.sqlite) directly under the profile folder.
    ** The ''prefs.js'' file stores your preferences for Firefox and extensions.

    I'd like a single button similar to "most visited" that will open the sidebar showing my bookmarks rather than having to click view, hover sidebar click bookmarks. How can I do this?

    You can drag the button that opens the Bookmarks in the sidebar from the View > Toolbars > Customize window on one of the toolbars.

  • How do I stop firefox downloading files as a blank webpage?

    By mistake I recently changed a Firefox download setting that now makes all files I try to download as blank web pages. When the window comes up and asks me for what I want Firefox to do with the file it says Firefox (default) and when I open the file it opens a blank webpage. So far I've tried numerous things including resetting to the factory state and completely uninstalling and reinstalling the browser. Some help with this would be much appreciated.

    You can check for problems with preferences.
    Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    Note that you should be cautious with opening files in Firefox via the open with dialog because Firefox shouldn't ask if it could handle this file internally.
    With file (content) type does in mention in the dialog?

  • How can I install or download video effects for keying chrome?

    pudieran ayudarme a instalar en el final cut pro los efectos de video para cromar

    If you are talking about the chroma key effect, also known as green screen, this is already available in FCP X - and an excellent one. It is called the "Keyer" effect. Just drag the effect onto the green screen clip and, in many cases, nothing else is required. If you need adjustments, then the flexibility and the power is immense.
    In the example below I just took a sample video available online and dragged the keyer effect. Without any adjustments, I got a great key. Of course, getting a great key depends a lot on the quality of the green screen clip (even lighting on the green screen, good separation between the talent and the screen and more). But the keyer effect in FCP X is indeed excellent.

  • How can I set the submit button to email only certain pages of the pdf not the entire pdf?

    We have a pdf that is a hundred pages or so where each page is an individual product that the customer can select for purchase. At the end of the pdf is an order form. We want to be able to email just the few pages which are the form as a pdf. The default function of the submit button is to email back the entire pdf. As there any way to just select whcih pages would be submitted?

    The problem is for people not using an email client like Outlook. In the version of Reader my boss was using, you had to save the FDF file to your hard disk and then open your browser to go to your web based email and write an email and attach the file. In the newest version of Reader it will open a browser window and create a draft for you, but he thought it was to much work if people were using older versions of Reader. He was really looking for something straightforward where all they had to do is push a button and it was submitted.

  • I can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

    i can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

    It is possible that the app was removed from the App Store. If so you will not be able to get it back, unless you have it downloaded on your computer.
    If you had downloaded it before and it is still in the store, you can go to the App Store app on your iPod and go to the Updates tab. Then you tap on "Purchased" and see if it is available to download from your previous purchases.
    Hope this helps!

    i bourgt 10.7 Lion, but i cnt´t install it. All the last updates are downloaded. I see the sign of the lion, but not clear- there stand the download stopped. How can i continue the download?

    In that case, drag the Lion installer from your application folder to the trash. Empty trash. Now press option key and click on 'purchased' tab. The button next to the Lion installer now should say 'install' click on that to download again.
