Add a PDF file

To add a PDF file from an existing page on your website:

1. Save the PDF or Word document file on your computer with a filename with no spaces
   Good: filename.pdf
   Bad: file name.pdf
2. From the HTML Website Editor, click File Uploader from the left sidebar.
   
3. A pop-up window will appear. Click Select Files.
   
4. Select the PDF file from your computer and click Open. Then click Upload All.
   
5. From the upload list, click Copy URL next to the PDF file you just uploaded.
   
6. Highlight and copy the PDF file URL.
   
7. Go to the page you wish to link this PDF file and open the HTML editor for that page.
8. Type a word in the editor. Then left-click and highlight the word. Once the word is highlighted, click the link icon (looks like a chain link).
   

9. A pop-up window will appear.

   • On the Link Info tab, in the URL field, right-click and paste the link you copied in step 6.

   • You may want to make the document pop-up in its own window. On the Target tab, click the Target dropdown menu and select New Window.

   • Click OK to save the hyperlink.
     

10. The word will now be a hyperlink that opens the PDF document when someone clicks on it.
