What's best for allowing document download?

Hi All,
Quick question really. I'm looking to create a simple HTML page which is to provide documents and photos to be downloaded. Essentially there will be several pdfs and high res images for people to download and I was wondering what the best way to do this is without creating a very long page.
Ideally, I'd like them to be able to read the PDF and then to download it and for the images to be in some sort of gallery and that if they click on the image they want they can download it. I've got all my images stored on a website called dropbox.
I'm very new to Dreamweaver CS3 and am trying to get through the dummies guide and free online tutorials but can't lay my finger on the answer really.
All suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

PDFs are downloaded anyway when your end user's click on a direct link.  For added convenience, you could combine images and PDFs into a folder and Zip it.  I use 7-Zip  http://www.7-zip.org/
Another approach is to use a ForceDownload script in your favorite server-side programming language.
This demo uses PHP:

  • External drives... whats the best for video.... ?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to figure out what the best bang for the buck is in regards to external drives, and what works best for video.
    I have considered the LaCie enclosures, I have also considered buying a 500 GB SATA to replace the 200 GB second drive I have inside the G5. The issue than is what enclosure works the best with a MAC and is 1394 and will the firm ware support huge video files, for render or exporting?
    Can anyone give some advice based on what they have learned through past experience.
    Thanks

    I've been using LaCie FW (800 & 400) drives for about three years now with only one problem - One of the first drives I bought (I think it was a 120 GB) fried itself a few months ago. I currently have 80GB, 120 GB, 400GB and 500 GB drives, all working fine, never have dropped frames. The LaCie drives are pretty tough too, as I've sent most of them back and forth across the country at least a few times with no problems.
    However, be careful if you update the firmware for them - make sure the drive is clean as the firmware update can cause corruption of data on the drive (I found that out the hard way!). Also keep in mind that they do put off a fair amount of heat (especially the big ones) so I wouldn't consider stacking them on top of each other horizontally.

  • Which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming?

    I have many novels saved under *.htm, doc and pdf.
    I'm using Quick Office, but when I zoom in, I have to slide the screen from side to side just to watch the whole things, which make my eyes feel very tired.
    So I need your help about which app is the best for viewing documents without sliding while zooming, I mean, when you zoom in, you just have to slide vertically to see the whole documents, and don't have to slide horizontally.

    All running on Wine 1.1.7, Oblivion is running around 150 mods, and QTP3, Body mods, High res texture packs for the character skins, with HDR lighting. As you can see the FPS does not change, it fluctuated between 19-20 on all three runs.
    Especially with Dual cores, you will find that games do not loose FPS even with things like a lightweight music player running in the background. Windows scheduler simply was not made for that kind of thing, and benifits alot more from a lower number of background processes. I wont say linux does not benifit, but with Dual cores and CFS, it is not really noticable anymore.
    Wait, does that mean you have better performance while you are running more stuff? Does the desktop manager handle graphics better?
    This really did confuse me...

  • Adobe reader does not work, what is best for viewing pdfs?

    While using Safari, I keep encountering a message that in order to view a .pdf, I need to download Adobe Reader, accept the end user agreement, then relaunch.  I have tried to do this many times and keep getting the above message. What program is best for viewing pdfs using Safari on an iMac

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • What settings best for screen reading & min/no header/footer?

    I prepare documents for reading online on web sites.  How can I create pages that scroll smoothly and contain maximum text and other features on the page with minimum wasted white space.  These documents are never intended to print anywhere - in fact want to discourage any such attempt.  What settings are best for this in Adobe?

    This really has nothing to do with Acrobat, but is a general question about reading information on a screen. There is no easy answer since people have monitors of different sizes and keep the monitors at different resolutions. I have no problem with discussing this here, but you might get a better response in the Design or Web Design forums. As a first step in the discussion, you might try to figure our what size monitor you want to target.

  • What's best for my battery.

    I use my macbook alot, like 8 hours a day. So I was wondering what would be the best for my battery.
    Should I always connect it to the adapter. Or should I use it on the batterypower and charge it when its underneath 20%.
    Thanks in advance.

    The consensus here seems to be: (1) that it's quite ok to leave it plugged in; (2)  It is good to use the battery occasionally, per
    Apple - Batteries - Notebooks
    (3) It is not good to run your battery all the way down, or even close to that.
    Following these guidelines I have a battery which is 15 months old, with 108 cycles and currently reads between 98-100% health.

  • What is best for my macbook pro... turn off,sleep,or leave it on?

    i know that u can leave it on for a couple of days nd it will b fine,but i would just like to know if its best to turn it off during the night.i dont mind that i have to wait for it to turn on,i just wanna do the best for my macbook pro.

    Some of LeafsMac's points make sense.
    Letting the battery completely die is not good.  Always plugged in, even asleep, it can die if power is off long enough.  But good planning can get around that.
    Also, it does need to run on battery once a month at least, down to 40%.  Then recharge back on A/C plug.
    Interesting note about MBPs ...  Even on charger the battery will lose slowly battery charge from 100% to 95%, then recharge to 100% all by itself.  That is to exercise the battery a little bit and save "recharge circuit" usage.  Nothng to worry about.

  • Project setup - what's best for source code versioning?

    We're about to start developing a new portal and are wondering what would be the best directory structure. It's important to decide at the beginning because we're using CVS version management for our source code (we are currently using it for our ADF development).
    Are there any issues related to directory/package structure? With ADF, we had problems when we wanted jsps from one application to call those in another application. To get around that, we had to put all of our applications within the same jdeveloper "project".
    I'm keen to hear any suggestions - especially if you work in a multi-application environment with concurrent development etc.
    thanks,

    Since I don't have a Canon, I don't know the specifics of how to ingest media for that camera. But FCE does have the ability to log & transfer AVCHD, as I have done this with a Sony HandiCam and my Lumix GH-1.
    The codec that FCE transcoded to, was AIC, Apple Intermediate Codec. FCE is 'fine' if you are not using 24p frame rates, as there are no 24p sequence options. (You can use 24p in a 25p timeline... but broadcast engineers will gnash their teeth on such botchery.)
    This may or may not be an issue.
    On the 'problem' of 'wyrd things happen when I whip pan my camera'... well, yeah... There are some industry standards about how fast objects should move across the field of view to avoid artifacts.
    The "whip pan", namely quickly pivoting the camera, will produce strange imaging. While the technology and image formation is different, so the artifacts are different, but even for 'film film' there are limits.
    One rule thumb I've run across is an object should take at least 5 seconds from one side of the screen to the other. Faster will result in artifacts, strobing, or in the case of digital cameras, 'rolling shutter' issues.
    The motto of the day is... "Know thy camera"...
    There may be filters to minimize or save the day if needed, but it is just better to shoot correctly in the first place...

  • What's best for the battery?

    Have a new HP311.  I want to know what is the best treatment for the battery.  Should I just leave it in the  machine while I am using it off the mains power or should I remove it while running on mains or should I charge it up and use the machine off battery and then recharge.  I'm new to this.

    It is a matter of opinion as far as removing it or leaving it in. If you leave the battery in and plug it in and unplug it frequently the capacitors could read incorrectly and think that the battery is charged to 100% when it is not. This is only a temp issue. Calibrating the battery will resolve this. If you leave the battery out of the machine it could get lost, or give your notebook more spaces to get dust in it. Personally I always advise to leave batterys in for this reason. Charles informed you to leave it out which is not incorrect either. The notebook will run a bit faster on ac power and your graphics performance will be increased(with battery in or without) and you should not run into the memory issue. It is a matter of choice. You can run a battery check in the Total Care advisor and if it needs calibration because you leave it in often and it should link you to the steps if needed.

  • What's best for video output to plasma HDTV?

    I'm thinking of hooking my 15' MBP up to my Samsung Plasma HDTV. The TV has input options including VGA, DVI, and HDMI.
    Since I'll have to go purchase the necessary cables and/or adapters to make this work, I was curious to know which option would give me the best video quality. Or is there a difference?
    What's the best?

    VGA is an analog video format. You'd be degrading your signal from digital out to analog, then your TV would likely reconvert it to digital for display on the plasma. That's definitely not the way to go.
    As for the DVI vs HDMI they're both digital transport. I am not totally certain but I believe for digital video the HDMI is just a higher density tighter pack of wires than DVI (other than audio but that's irrelevant here) so it the DVI vs HDMI should be equivalent quality.
    I'd just plug the DVI out from the MacBook Pro into the DVI input of the TV. The cable will cost a mint (maybe like $50). I heard through someone that Apple is carrying low cost cables, but I haven't checked it out yet. I'll step back to hear someone who knows more comment more on the DVI vs HDMI and this price part.

  • What is best for my career: Sap ABAP or Sap BI

    Hi Experts,
    I am Rajesh, done my bachelor degree in Information Technology,
    having 4 years of Exp as a Mainframes Programmer in a Banking Software company.
    my job containts
    30 % understanding the product
    40 % Analysis
    30 % Programming
    my career Goal is to get SAP job in Abroad(US/UK/AUS) for that i am planning like below:
    First i want to gain some minimum(8-10 Months) Exp in India by
    Choosing one Best(or)Hot Cake Module in SAP, which matches any one of 3 points
    1)Currently that module should have more demand less supply.
    2)Should have good Future
    3)it should not be much vast Because need to expertise Early
    I already Trained and good in SAP-Core ABAP,
    but just Core ABAP is not enough to get expertise in ABAP, because i need to add it with
    OOPS, Webdynpro, Workflow ETC.
    even i Trained in all the above, it is difficult to be Expert in 1 YR.
    and Hard to get job in US/UK/AUS.
    So i am planning to go with SAP-BI for below Reasons
    1) SAP BI is not that much Vast compare to ABAP for becoming an Expert on it
    2) for Skill Set ABAP+BI, can have good openings
    3) SAP-BI is a techno functional Job, where ABAP is not a final Destination.
    4) in Future, BI will help to get into HANA.
    I request you to guide me, whether my decision towards my Goal is correct or not,
    if not, please give valuable Suggestions to reach my destination.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Rajesh

    Hi Rajesh,
    as per as your selection of module, its a good mix, but i have a few words that i wants to share with you. Being a developer in sap abap i have come across some points where many indivisuals get strucked by asking what is next.
    Started with sap abap you will have many options to go ahead, as you have seen that the combination of BI along with ABAP has an added advantages, and yes later on you can move towards HANA, one of the major sap module in which the database of sap persist in furure.
    As far as i concern, if you wants to be in technical stream of sap you will have UI5, Webdynpro, Workflow, BW/ BI, HANA etc, so you may go ahead with these options, but as you have told that you wants to get hands on these things in one year, i think you have to devote in abap as much as possible
    what you will require to know the syntax and semantics used in SAP, along with all the stuffs associated with it, once you will get familiar with it, you can play as you wants.
    But one thing more is that its not mandatory to have sap abap knowledge to learn other technologies,  you can learn without abap, but if yiu have hands on in abap somehow it will boost your future in related technilogies.
    So, finally your decision is on right track, what you will need is to get it as your passion.

  • What is best for me, trying to figure that out.

    I right now have N router that is linksys E5200, which has a poor rang, thinking on getting one with a larger range. I'm looking at a new router because ours is old it's 7 years old. Parents have a PC windows 8, I own a macpro, there is a ipad in the house and 2 iphones that use WIFI along with our printer. I was wondering if this router is a great match for my family, I've read reviews watched some videos, and still little overwhelmed because there is a lot out there in Router land. I was told for my internet services that Net-gear and Linksys, was my best bet. With having so much apple products myself and love them, would check out this product. Side not my parents are normal range, e-mails, random videos' and some bejewle playing. I on the other hand I do a lot more, I download music and watch a lot of youtube. So on that hand we need something that will keep up with us.
    Hope someone can give me a path to look into some other choices or if this is a right move for my house?

    I was wondering if this router is a great match for my family
    I see no reference to this in previous text or title.. but presuming you are talking about airport extreme.. then it will work well with your Apple gear.. but it may not work well or at all with the PC if you are needing wireless.. If the PC is within ethernet distance then it is fine.
    There is no one size fits all when it comes to wireless.. buy from apple store.. they have 14day return and see if it works for you.. if so keep it.. if not return it and buy something better.. Netgear R7000 or the Asus RT-AC68U etc. These have better range than the apple AC products in most tests..
