Link to .pdf on Desktop

Good day, everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to put a link to a .pdf document on the desktop? I have GoodReader to read .pdfs, but I would like to just "otuch" and icon to get to documents I refer to frequently.
Thanks in advance!
Ray

I think what we really need is to find somenoe that knows how to create that link to the desktop without first having to visit the site in safari., just paste it in and make a shortcut.
Goodreader will copy a link to the clipboard by using the "Manage files" tab, select a file, and touch link. But no idea how to get that to the desktop? Any iphone apps for that?

4. Clicked Insert
and am receiving message "Invalid URL"
How do I create this link?

Nevermind. Found how to add this link. Somehow was able to add a link by pasting the absolute link URL in both the "Link Text" and "URL or Email" fields.

Link to PDF problem

Hello all,
I'm trying to link to a pdf file from my site. When I click on the link, it opens the folder that I have the pdf file in and asks me to "Enter the name of the file to save to". It has "save as file type", and name box. It thinks I want to save a file instead of opening one. It also keeps returning to the same folder, even if I link to something stored on my desktop. I have to save everything as a jpeg to be able to link to it.
I hope I explained it well enough to be understood. Any help would be appreciated.

HI
When you link the PDF file in Muse project, you need to use the links menu in the Control panel to select the Link to File option. In the Import dialog box that appears, browse to select the file and click Open to select it.
When you browse to select a file using the Link to File feature, the file becomes one of the site assets that is uploaded when the site is published or included in the site files when the site is exported. It is a best practice to copy any files you want to link to from the site into the site's local folder, along with any other image files used in your site.
Please note that, Depending on the browser you are using and the browser's preferences, you'll see different behaviors. Some browsers will display the PDF within the browser window while others will simply download the PDF file to your desktop, where you can open it using Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader
For more details on how this works and how you may link the files , please refer to : Adobe Muse Help | Creating Hyperlinks

How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

Hi All,
I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
Can any one tell me about this?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

Linking a pdf in dreamweaver

I am learning dreamweaver and I have read and watched many videos on linking a pdf in my web page yet I am still having trouble. I have the file in my webpage folder, called 10brochure.pdf when I view it in sarafi before I upload it, it shows the file is there and opens. Yet when I publish it to the web it says NOT FOUND, The request URL/10brochure.pdf was not found on this server. Please check out www.mmo-stanstevens.com/pages/trophy_gallery.html to see where I am having trouble with 2010 and 2009 pdf, 2 years ago someone else added 06-08
Thank you

Your pathway to the file seems to be off after looking at your code.2008 and 2007 have "
../pdf/2008_report.pdf" you need the same for 2009 and 2010. Is has a path of
"../09brochure.pdf". Make sure the 09 and 10 pdf's are in your pdf folder in your root and correct the path in your dreamweaver doc with /pdf/10brochure.pdf. Hope that helps

Hi All,
Please anyone let me know how i can link a PDF document to a link in the smart form output.
I'm outputting Purchase order details on a smartform and I'm supposed to give an URL link for the user to click on it for Terms and Conditions.
Please note that I'm not using interactive forms in web dynpros nor developing with BSP.
I simply developed a smart form in SRM system and I'm able to display an URL but don't know how to link a PDF to that link.
Please some one let me know your ideas how i can attach a PDF to an URL in smart form.
Thanks in Advance,
Sowjanya

Hi,
Follow the below blog and it is very useful achiving your requirement.
in the blog:
in the below point,
Code to send the email
Following code will transform the html content into displayable format and send email to all the recipients. Note: This form also handles the images (static) defined in the smartform, as well as the images defined with html IMG tag (eg: URL link to image on the network).
you have to convert your pDF output into displayable format. then add that link to your smartform.
Thanks,
Sree.

Dead links in PDF -- any further updates?

I started an lovely ebook in Pages and tested it to see how it would look in PDF, but to my dismay I found that the hyperlinks were no longer live. After searching these forums, I see this topic was discussed last September, and that Apple simply didn't put the capability of making live links in PDF exports into Pages.
Have there been an further updates on this issue? I would really hate to have to resort to using Acrobat. I've used it before and really, I'd much rather use something neat and clean such as Pages.
The iLife suite has this same problem across the board. Lovely to look at, makes beautiful documents, but severely handicapped in what you can do with it. I wish the documentation had said something in the "how to export to PDF" about this omission before I went to all that work.

You can indeed export a PDF file with hyperlinks and retain those active links in the PDF document.
I'm not sure how this does or even can answer your question, and all of your subsequent updates aren't adding much understanding or clarity to the mix. Instead of reporting repeated failures, could you try listing out:
a. what exactly you are trying to do, and
b. how exactly you are trying to do that, and
c. what you expect to see happen when you do it that way, and finally
d. what you see instead, including the text of any error messages.
