creating a downloadable packet of documents

[Karen]

What is the easiest or best way to put documents on a web site that visitors
can download and print? I am assuming they would need to be in pdf format.
I do the web site for our church, and they are wanting to put applications
to a mission camp on the web site so that applicants can download them
instead of us having to mail them out to potential applicants. I have just
ordered FP 2003 and will be using it, just not familiar with it yet. Am
currently using FP 2000. Any one point me to a tutorial?
Thanks,
Karen

The version of FP doesn't matter. Just import the PDF document into your
web, then create a link to it, also visit the http:/www.adobe.com and click
on the link to Adobe Reader, then follow the instruction for creating a link
to the Reader download, which will be required by users, if they don't
already have it.

Hi Karen,
Just a suggestion.
If your using Acrobat to create the documents you might want to create an
Acrobat Form that uses can type the info into. They will have to print, fax,
or save & email the completed form but they are a lot easier to read when
typed. They can still print it and fill-in by hand if they wish.

John,
I had thought about just having them type in the form, but the packet will
contain sheets of info too, so I was not sure if I wanted to do that or just
have them download the entire packet.
Thanks of the info!
Karen
