Prerequisites

The.com Basics HTML Links

Intro

You can use the Link / Button Element to create a link to an uploaded PDF. The setup for this is the same as setting up any other link, except that the URL you provide will be a file URL hosted on your site (or another site), not a page URL.

How to

Drag and Drop

1. Create a Link Element.

2. Click Edit over the Element.

3. Type in the text you want the link to display in the Text attribute.

4. Drag and drop the PDF file you wish to include in the URL attribute.

From the Worksheet

If your PDF file has already been uploaded via the worksheet, click the top-right corner of its cell to copy the file URL to your clipboard. Then, paste this link into the URL attribute of the Link Element.

Browser Differences for PDFs

The browser you or your users are using will affect what happens when the link is clicked.

• Chrome & Safari - The PDF will open in a new tab where it can be printed or downloaded.

• Firefox - The PDF will be downloaded immediately.
