Hooch Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hello all...Happy Easter. Is it possible to have a link to download a .pdf file, instead of it going to it to view? Thank you.. Hooch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooch Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 Thanks Goat. This is what I'll do. I was curious if there was a way to do this via html. Maybe there wasa code I wasn't aware of. Have a great weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FirefoxRocks Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Use MIME types: <a href="aDocument.pdf" type="application/octet-stream">This is a document</a> Application/octet-stream allows you to trigger the download box in the browser no matter what software is associated with the file type.

An Alien Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Or you can tell them to right click and save file to download. That is easy too.lol, 3 year old topic and bumped on Easter.I think it should now be locked or something?

jeffman Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The mods only lock stuff when people start to flame, post ads, or otherwise break the rules. The rest is just -- dare I say it again? -- common sense. This is really a mellow board. Even the youngsters behave themselves pretty well.
