How do I add a pdf file in to a Publsher website?

In addition to Spike's suggestion, if you are working in Publisher 2000, I
believe you can just create the link from the appropriate page to the PDF
file on your local hard drive. When you publish the website, it will
automatically include a copy of the PDF in the files to be uploaded...at
least, I recall that's how it works.

Bruce, I did do that and I don't think it is working. I am working on
www.bereacfgs.com. It is on the Fundraising Conference (new this year!)
page. I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

It appears your pdf link is pointing to the index folder; not a good idea
because when you update the site you may delete the intended pdf file.
Spike's suggestion to create a special folder for downloads, i.e.,
"downloads" and have downloads located outside of the index folder on the
server. Then your link should read,

http://www.bereacfgs.com/downloads/filename.pdf

Note: you could also write the hyperlink as

/downloads/filename.pdf

The drawback using the second method is, it won't work if you paste it in
your browser; the first method will work.

filename = the actual file name

Spike, Thanks so very much! I did this once a while ago and just could not
remember how I got there.
Thanks again

You recall correctly. Unfortunately that does not work in newer versions and
you must manually upload the external file to your site and write the link
to where you put it.
