Linking to PDF file

[Icrashrc]

I'm having problems linking to a PDF file online. It seems to work fine while
testing but after publishing the site clicking on the link brings up a blank
page. If I right click and chose save as then the PDF file can be downloaded.
Any idea what i've done wrong? Thank You!

Re-install the Acrobat Reader.

I've tried that. It happens on both my desktop and laptop so i don't think it's
a problem on the recieving end. The page that i'm having problems with is

Clicking on Amoco brings up the PDF file for me. Any of the others just brings
up a blank page. Any ideas? Thank you.

Remove the 's from the folder name as in:

http://www.ble348.org/PDF's/Ashland.pdf

Also suggest that you set the frame target value for this links to new
window, so that user does close the PDF and also exit your site.

Your suggestions worked great. I don't understand why the folder name was
causing problems but as long as it works I can't complain! Thank you

Different programs and operating systems react differently to "special"
characters in file and folder names. It's good practice to avoid
special characters in file and folder names. Unless you know exactly
which ones will work everywhere for everyone, recommend you limit use to
only letters, numbers, "-", and "_".

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

How do you set the frame target value so user doesn't exit your site when
they close the pdf?

Right click on the link to the file, select hyperlink properties, click
Target Frame, select New Window and then click Apply or OK
