How do you create a link to download a PDF file?

I'd like to create links so that when clicked, a PDF file associated with the link will automatically be downloaded. I've created a folder where I've stored all of the PDF files, but where on my web host do I put the folder--is it part of the published iWeb folder or should it be kept separate? (I'm using a 3rd party web host, Lunarpages.com)
Second, to create the links, I've written "Download Page" on for each link, highlighted the words, then enabled it as a hyperlink with the inspector. However, this changes "Download Page" to the name of the PDF file. How can I keep the words "Download Page" without changing it to the name of the file? Also, is this the correct way to have a PDF file automatically downloaded when "Download Page" is clicked?

Hi there,
While I do not use iWeb, I do use PDF files on my website.
I first create a new folder to hold my PDF files and upload this to my website. When I create and upload PDF files I will upload to this folder. When someone wants to view this files, all they need to do is click on the link I created. After clicking on link, if the user is on a PC, Acrobat Reader is automatically used to view the file or if they are on a Mac, Preview is usually the default viewer (if the they are using Safari, it will simply open in Safari). Just having the extension on yourfile.pdf will cause this and you will not need to do anything else on your end.
FOR EXAMPLE: Download Sample PDF - try it on different browsers and PC's
As far as 'download page', it automatically starts as soon as you click on link. If you are talking about 'saving' the user will always have that option on their end...

The steps would be :
- Add files from file menu > select pdf > add to site
- Select the content (rectangle,text etc) and click on hyperlink dropdown > it should show you the added files list
- Select the file you want to link

How can I create a link to download a file in Captivate?

So, in my Captivate file, I want people to be able to download an XML file to their machine. If I create a hyperlink to "open a file", then when a user clicks on it, captivate attempts to open the xml file in a browser window instead of downloading it. I can't figure out how to use the download attribute for an href in captivate and I'm not sure if javascript to do this would execute properfly. Anybody know the best way to accomplish a force download of a file from a captivate presentation (Captivate 6)?
TIA.

If you want to really do this so that it is consistent for all browsers, you'll need to implement this at the server level. I did this with the Dynamic PDF Export Widget. Typically, a PDF will be displayed in the browser, but I added the ability to download it instead. It does require a PHP file (or some other server side script). In the PHP file, you'll want to set the response header for Content-Disposition to "attachment"... that's the key.
The elbow grease part has to do with managing how the browser handles the link. You'll want the Captivate hyperlink to open a new window so that the student does not navigate away from your course in the current window. But since you are opening a PHP file, you can inject javascript into the document of the new window/tab to close itself. The download will still continue eventhough the window/tab was programmatically closed. However, most modern browsers will automatically close the window/tab for you when downloading a file. If you want to see an example of a PHP file that implements this, go ahead and download the trial version of the Dynamic PDF Export widget. You'll see the create.php file in the zip package.

If you want to go simple as TLC Media Design suggested, just zip it and let your students unzip the xml file, or just rename the xml file with a .zip extension and tell them to rename the file back to .xml after downloading.

How do you create a link to play a song on a website?

I tried the audio widget from MuseGrid and it works fine on the master page, except the song automatically plays but restarts again on each page you go to. Siince this is a bit awkward, I would rather
create a link to a song on each page. This would let the user click on the words "Play music" link to hear the song or to click it off. I saw another discussion to insert html code into the page. Is this what I need? Any feed back would be greatly appreciated!
Love the support!

Hi
If you want to have a link to a song on each page, you may take help of audio tag introduced in HTML5 and have the code inserted using " insert as HTML in Adobe Muse.
For more details : HTML5 Audio
Also you may find this widget helpful : Adobe Muse MP3 Audio Player Widget | MuseThemes.com
I hope this helps.

Create desktop link for epub o pdf files?

Hello,
I would like to create a direct link into the desktop of my iPad to a local file. It could be either PDF or EPUB file (I'd prefer PDF). I didn't manage how to do that? I've just succeed on creating link to webpage.
Bye
Giacomo

From what I know you have 3 choices:
1) Use an app like Goodreader to manage the PDF files, in folders, etc, but not on the desktop.
2) Use web page(s) to load and read the pdf's with a shortcut on the dessktop.
3) Use "Fast PDF" app that gives you an iBook-type interface bookshelf for pdf libraries. I think you'll like Fast PDF. I really like it. It's 99 cents.

How can i create a hyperlink annotation on a pdf file using preview? the tool is removed from the toolbar

It seems that the tool to create an hyperlink on a pdf file is removed from the toolbar!

In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

Can you create an electronic signature in a PDF file using Adobe Reader 9

Hello all:
I am filling out an application that I opened using Adobe Reader 9.
It is a PDF document, and at the very bottom there is a field which is meant for my signature..
Is there away to sign this electronically?
Do I need to scan my signature and place it that field?
Can I sign with a pen tool with in Adobe Reader 9?
Or do I need to print, sign the document, scan my document, and then import as a completely different PDF file?
Thanks in advance!!

That depends.
Are they asking you to put a copy of your actual signature on there or are they asking for a "digital signature"?
They are different things.

How can you create a linked list? GUI?

I have the following program that I wrote:
package damagecounter;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Main
     public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception
          String logline;
          Player player1 = new Player("Kazzandar");
          try
               BufferedReader logfile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("TeilmonRun.txt"));
               logline = logfile.readLine();
               while (logline != null)
                    if (logline.startsWith (player1.getName (), 0))
                         if (logline.contains ("recites"))
                              player1.recites++;
                         if (logline.contains ("rescues"))
                              player1.rescues++;
                         if (logline.contains ("utters the words"))
                              player1.spells++;
                         if (logline.contains ("sprawling with a powerful bash."))
                              player1.bashes++;
                         if (logline.contains ("got toasted by"))
                              player1.deaths++;
                         if ((logline.contains ("-=")) && (logline.contains ("=-")))
                              if (logline.startsWith (player1.getName (), 0))
                                   String damage = logline.substring(logline.indexOf ("-=") + 2 , logline.indexOf ("=-"));
                                   player1.setDamage (Integer.parseInt (damage));
                    logline = logfile.readLine ();
          catch (Exception e)
               System.out.println ("Log file not found or corrupt.");
               e.printStackTrace();
          player1.printStats();
}As of right now the code require a person to enter the name of a player and then scans the log file to determine the appropriate counts for that player. If I want to scan the file for multiple players how would I be able to do that without having to run the program over and over. The reason being that sometimes the logs have over 15 different players and I'd hate to have to run the program 15 times to get each players stats. Any suggestions? Would I have to make a linked list?

Yes, the log file looks something like that. Here is a small 15 line version of what the log file actually looks like:
Kazzandar's stab misses Icingdeath. -=0=-
Arien's slash >>> ANNIHILATES <<< Icingdeath! -=118=-
Arien's slash >>> ANNIHILATES <<< Icingdeath! -=112=-
Arien's slash <<< ERADICATES >>> Icingdeath! -=158=-
Parrish utters the words, 'yjrr pzar'.
Arien rescues Shargaas!
Kazzandar's counterattack does UNSPEAKABLE things to Icingdeath! -=636=-
Icingdeath's claw does UNSPEAKABLE things to Arien! -=760=-
Arien's fireball scratches Icingdeath. -=4=-
Arien's lightning bolt grazes Icingdeath. -=7=-
Arien's counterattack -- DESSICATES -- Icingdeath! -=540=-
Icingdeath's claw COMPLETELY TRASHES Arien! -=802=-
Arien is DEAD!
Kitiara's fireball grazes Icingdeath. -=5=-
Kitiara's lightning bolt grazes Icingdeath. -=8=-
Almost always the player name is first but sometimes the "mob" name (In this case Icingdeath) comes out. I don't mind if Icingdeath is referenced as a player and included in the stats, not that big a deal. Thanks for the idea on the HashMap I'll looking into how it works. Since this is my first Java program I often find myself lost at where to begin.
I changed "got toasted by" to "is DEAD!" since it's easier to read. I also changed the majority of the main code into a method for the player class. The main code looks like this now:
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception
          Player player1 = new Player("Shargaas");
          player1.scanLogForStats("TeilmonRun.txt");
          player1.printStats();
     I was hoping this would make it easier, anyway, thanks again and I'll definitely be looking into HashMap.

How would I create a link to download an image to the harddrive from within edge?

I'm using this code in an on-click event currently, but it just opens the image in a new page, it doesn't download the file to the user's computer.
window.open("URL HERE", "download", "_blank");
I also tried using this code on a text-box, but it didn't do anything. i'm sure it's missing some on-click thing, but i'm not sure how to phrase that.
sym.$("Text4").html("<a href='URL HERE' download>");
thanks!

Here is the sample.

     return null;
     public void traverse()
     NodeData current = head;
     while(current !=null)
//     current.getData());print();
     current = current.next;
     public boolean delPhoneNum(String name)
     NodeData current = head;
     NodeData previous = head.prev;
     NodeData next = head.next;
     boolean found = false;
     if (head == null)
     return false;
     while(current != null)
     if(current.data.getName().equals(name))
     found = true;
     return found;
     previous = current;
     current = current.next;
     if (current != null)
     next = current.next;
     if (found)
     if (previous == null)
     head = head.next;
     else if (next == null)
     tail = tail.prev;
     else
     previous = current.next;
     next = current.prev;
     return found;
     }//DoubleLink
so i have this linked list..how can i apply it to my program with the words instead of the numbers and phone contact

How do you create a non linear InDesign Interactive PDF modelled on having a 'home screen' from which you navigate?

I am trying to create an interactive presentation for a seminar the institute I work for hosted. I want to have a 'home screen' in which you can get a digest of what happened and then the viewer can subsequently view any of the 6 presentations that happened at the event (six icons will be on the 'homescreen' as well). After they are done viewing, lets say presentation 1, they press a home button and return to the original screen to view the rest if they so wish. Is this possible as an interactive PDF? If not any suggestions on how I go about creating it? Thank you!

You can do it with hyperlinks, link to: page then export to interactive pdf.
