Well I would upload my odf to my server say www.mydomain.com/pdf.mypdf/pdf

(lot of pdf's there )

Than make any old button select it by clicking the left mouse button the click the right mouse button and select web properties, in there you want to select the link tab, then link to web address, in the box type you pdf address ie http://www.mydomain.com/pdfs/mypdf.pdf

select apply always apply first then OK

Thats it, at least that is the way I would do it

all the best

Chris I have started to use Xara for all my sites ...... I have used DW for about 6 years and its such a chore most of the time......as you say this prog is a breath of fresh air.......just needs some extra things like upload one file instead of the whole site and maybe a get files from server all within the same prog.....

Anyway thanks for u help as you say there is a lot of good people on this forum ready to help ...... DW forum can be a little stuffy by some experts on there I found.
