Default Open PDF - 03-27-2009 , 04:19 PM






I am new at this so be patient with me (old). I am building a small web site
for our seniors motorcycle group and need to have a PDF open when the page
opens and then it can be printed if needed. I have no clue as to how to do
this. I have created the PDF in Acrobat but can't figure how to get it to
work. Any help would be appreciated:confused;

Just link to it and upload it, that's all.

It is userfriendly to indicate that it's a PDF and the filesize in the
link text, e.g.

<a href="document.pdf">document title (PDF, xx KB)</a>

But - to have it open on page load, you'd have to do an onload event on the
body tag that links to the PDF, no?

Oh, missed that part. Yes, that would require an onload thing. I don't
know if I would do it, though ... Or maybe a normal link first, and
then the additional onload thingy if really necessary.
