Linking PDFs with Dreamweaver

I'm wanting to link a .pdf into a Dreamweaver web page so that readers can view it online. 
Does anyone know how I can do this or if it's possible? Ideally, I would really like to publish a .pdf on my website so that when the page is visited it automatically appears without having to click on another link. I have searched everywhere I can think of in numerous ways and keep coming up empty!
Thanks in advance  for any help you can give me!

Like Mike mentioned already, best to ask in the dreamweaver forum.
But you'll have two choices. You can simply link to the PDF and for many, it will open in their browser. For some, it will prompt to download the file so they can open in Reader or Acrobat (or whatever they use to view PDF's).
You can also "embed" the PDF in the page so it shows on a page. The only time you want to do this is when you have other elements on the page that you want them to see at the same time.
Again, you'll want to ask any further questions in the Dreamweaver forum.

  • Linked PDF with Open Doc password- false, Edit Permissions- true, requires password to open AI doc

    I would like to password protect editing of a placed PDF. I have set the PDF Open Doc password to false and the Edit permissions to true. Illustrator still requires the permissions password to OPEN the Illustrator document. This would defeat the purpose, no?

    Well, it does seem to work, sort of. The Illustrator document with a placed, protected PDF asks for the password when opening. The password is also required when attempting to embed (edit) the linked PDF, as expected.
    I would think the correct behavior should be  for the Open Document password protection (or lack of) to control opening the Illustrator document and the Edit Permissions password to be applied when embedding or flattening the linked PDF, making it accessable to editing. Acrobat seems to be able to make this distinction.
    This would be a significant feature for users who need to restrict editing of sensitive portions of their layouts while allowing necessary prepress work downstream.

  • Linking PDF to Dreamweaver

    Im trying to link a .pdf to my Dreamweaver document so that readers can view online.  I added the .pdf as an asset in Dreamweaver and linked it just as I would any other link.  However when I view it I get this message:
    "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser.  Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your web browser and try again."
    I do not have Acrobat or Reader open!  Does anyone know what is going on?  Or even better, can someone explain how I can publish a .pdf on my website so that when the page is visited it automatically appears without having to click on another link.
    Thanks for the help.

    A good question.
    Asking at the Dreamweaver forum may elicit a more useful set of replies.

  • Image Link Problem with Dreamweaver CS4?

    On my website, I have several images that link to other parts on my website. These work no problem when I preview the site, but after I test the links, the images that had those links have purple outlines that really clash with my website's design. Will users see this if they click on my links, and then return to the page? I'm using CS4 right now, and never recalled having this issue come up when using MX. Thanks for the help.

    I got stuck on this one too - not realising that Dreamweaver automatically palces a border on every image link - but the simplest way I found was to have my "Properties" panel showing on the bottom and input 0 into the "Border" box. By having this panel open you can see if you have accidently applied any styles to the image, where it links to, Image size attributes and the Image name.

  • Can't link PDF with my acrobat.exe

    Now I've installed the Acrobat X pro in my laptop (Windows 7 Pro x64).
    After I installed the program, the PDF file is not automatically opened by acrobat.exe  ( I didn't install the free reader version).
    If I open the acrobat.exe first, I can read the PDF file by opening the file from the program. But if I didn't open the program (acrobat.exe) first, I can not open the pdf file at all.  Every time I double click the pdf file, it ask me to choose a program to open, and I can not even choose acrobat.exe from there.
    Don't know what's going wrong here.
    PS: I tried to install the free reader version, and then pdf file can be automatically opened by the reader, but not the acrobat.

    You really have no control over how people view their PDFs locally.
    It's dependent on local user settings. You hardly ever see embedded PDFs on web pages because there's no guarantee that they'll work as you intend.
    This is currently done in Publisher and then converted to a PDF. They don't want to have to teach their members about downloading plug-ins.
    If you know of another program they can use to develope a newsletter that can be printed, put in an e-mail, and published on a web site that doesn't require conversion to PDF -- I and they would love the answer to that as well!
    Most people already have a PDF viewer (such as Acrobat Reader) installed so a link to a PDF is usually all that is required.
    It's the lowest maintenance, and most widely used, option without requiring lots of instructions.
    If you want to research alternative approaches, which version of Publisher is being used?
    You can export Publisher documents as self-contained websites which can then be uploaded.
    However I suspect most people would prefer reading a PDF which looks familiar and they can print.

  • Internal link checking with Dreamweaver CS4

    I currently have 3 root directory index pages: index.html, index.htm, and default.htm
    My host is GoDaddy and the page that resolves for http://www.amenta.com/ is the default.htm page.  So, I would like to get rid of the other two, neither of which is cached by Google, in order to avoid any future canonicalization issues.
    When I go to delete index.htm and index.html in the Dreamweaver CS4 Files window, I am alerted that there are many internal pages linking to them.
    How can I pull up a list of all of these pages?
    Also, when I try to run a "Change links sitewide" function and I enter "Change all links to : /index.html" "Into links to : /" I am prompted that "no links to /index.html found".  But when I try to delete this file, I am shown the first several of 186 such files.
    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!

    Thanks again John.  DW indicates that there are 185 files linking to index.html when I attempt to delete it through the Files Window.  Here is the display:
    However, each of these 6 files link to / and not /index.html and I can not figure out how to pull up a list of the rest of the files beyond what this alert message shows.
    When I attempt to delete index.htm through the DW Files Window, I am alerted about just one file linking to it.
    Perhaps DW is programmed to consider /index.html as the default for any link to / but on my host, the default page seems to be default.htm which is why I want to get rid of index.html and index.htm to avoid any duplicate content or canonicalization issues.
    But before I delete index.html, I want to be sure that I am not creating a bunch of broken links when I do so.
    And, when I try to run the following "Change Link Sitewide" command...:
    ...I am prompted that no such links exist:
    Thanks again for your looking into this with me.  If nothing else, I will just go ahead and delete both index.html and index.htm and then do a check for broken internal links.

  • PDF link issue in Dreamweaver

    Clicking on PDF links in Dreamweaver brings up an Adobe PDF error that says: "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat. If it is running, please exit and try again. (1:1)". We tried reinstalling to the latest version of Acrobat X but the error continues.
    We thought this was an Acrobat error, however PDFs function normally so long as they are not called out from Dreamweaver. We have tried reinstalling Dreamweaver with no luck as well.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Machine is Windows 7 with Dreamweaver CS5 v6 and Acrobat X.

    OK, why do you want to preview/open a PDF from within Dreamweaver?
    Added new content which includes the pdf link to my web page and need to ensure the link works before going live with the web page.
    You should be able to do so while in Live View, but I would not expect this to work in just Design View in any version of Dreamweaver.
    Before received Dreamweaver upgrade, I previewed the web page in the web browser and clicked the links on page to verify if worked and no problem. I should be able to continue to do so now.
    If you are just trying to test out what the experience would be like for the visitors to your website, then you should be doing so in a web browser. e.g. use Preview In Browser from Dreamweaver, then click the link for the PDF from within your browser.
    I agree, as previously stated, this is what I'm doing and it's not working......the pdf file does not open.

  • Email link to a pdf with text anchor on web site

    I'm trying to create an email with a link to a web site's pdf file with a text anchor. I want the link to take the reader not just to the pdf file but to a certain location in the pdf file. I'm creating the pdf with the text anchor in Indesign 4. It's not working. Is this even possible?

  • Can I create a pdf with clickable links which open new pdfs?

    Hi,
    My client now wants me to create pdf with links to open new pdfs (in an offline mode). He wants to put all the content onto memory sticks to hand out at a conference.
    I have suggested the alternative of links which redirect to other pages within the same pdf, but if I could create one which open whole new pages or documents this would be really smart.
    Many thanks,
    Sam

    When you create the links, use "Go to a page view" type, as opposed to "Open a file". This allows you to create links that will open another PDF to a particular page and view (zoom and position).

  • Exporting to PDF with hot html links

    I'm trying to create a pdf document that has functioning html links. Does Pages let you do this?

    To create a PDF with live links you'll need to buy a full version of Adobe Acrobat. Adobe Reader is just as titled - a reader. It will only allow reading and basic markup of pdfs.
    The PDFs created through the Print menu are also very simple PDFs. Their creation is not a function of the program the original document comes from, be it Pages, Numbers, Word, Excel, Appleworks etc. It is based on the operating system using technology which is probably licensed from Adobe.
    To get all the functionality available in a PDF, you've go to pay the piper - Adobe - for the software.
    Good luck,
    Terry

  • Using a fillable PDF with a FormsCentral Link collection.

    I want to inport a fillable PDF and then use the Forms Central link distribution to collect responses vs sending out the fillable PDF with a submit button. How do I do that ?

    Good day,
    Our CreatePDF service does not allow you to create fillable PDF files. You can find an overview of CreatePDF's features here: https://www.acrobat.com/createpdf/en/features.html
    For this capability, you need Adobe Acrobat.
    There is no upgrade path from CreatePDF to Adobe Acrobat available.
    Kind regards,
