I am trying to include a number of pdf download files on
my website - and I know how to create a link to them -
but this merely opens a copy of the PDF, I want the link
to activate a download pop up window asking the user
whether they wish to open or save the pdf.

How do I do this???

I know nothing about HTML code so will need precise
instructions.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Sherri

You can't if they have set up Acrobat Reader to handle PDF in their browser
- all you can do is use WinZip and put them in Zip files
