Frontpage 2000 & PDF Files

[Ichraus]

I'm trying to link a pdf file. I did everything I should: I
imported it to my web, hyperlinked to it and then published
my web. When I click on it, I get this message:

The requested URL Form.pdf was not found on this server.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Check that the case of the filename.pdf matches the actual filename case in the link, as it sound
like you are publishing to a Unix/Linux web host where Form.pdf and form.pdf is consider two
separate files.

Insure that the file is actually on your server, and that the hyperlink has the correct spelling of the file name.

I checked and the file is the same. When I'm in Frontpage
and I hit the Control key and left click, it says my pdf is
not found in the current Web. I followed the instructions
from Adobe on saving the pdf then I impoted it into Frontpage.

How do I know it's on the server? When I click on the link
on the web, I get:

NOT FOUND
The requested URL .pdf was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.31 Server at

Can you provide a URL to the page with the link to the PDF on internet?

Either FTP into the site, or open the live web in FP.

Here it is:

It's the one that says Fall Ball Registration Form

Thanks

In FP rename the PDF file so that it is all lowercase and NO spaces in the file name.

Did it. Still getting the same message.

This is what shows for the link.
http://burrellfastpitch.org/burrell fastpitch 2004 registration form.pdf

Which makes the browser see the following
http://burrellfastpitch.org/burrel fastpitch%202004%20registration%20form.pdf

Spaces in file names break links. Change the file name to:
burrell_fastpitch_2004_registration_form.pdf
relink to it from the page and then republish
