Linked PDF does not open.



User: Dale L. 5 years ago
I have quite a few linked PDF files that I want visitors to be able to open to read online. However Everweb only wants to download the files. How would I go about doing this?

If a PDF is uploaded to the server with the .pdf file extension it should open in the browser when the link to it is clicked. If the file is zipped, it will download when the link is clicked.

Here's some more info and a couple of widgets for creating "read" and "download links".

PDFs can also be opened in a modal window using widgets like the PDF Modal and the Font Awesome Icon Link.

If you want a multipage PDF to be responsive and scrollable on iPads it's easier to upload it to Google Drive and let the browser do the work. The downside is that it opens in a new window and is not displayed as part of the website.
