ed, the simplest way is to add a shape to your page and in Web Properties, pick Link > Link to file and set Open link to New window or tab.

ed, I think you've missed the point.
Linking to the PDF adds it into the Xara manifest. It is uploaded with your site when you publish.
The PDFs will sit in the index_htm_files folder, if you first publish page is named index.

The PDFs are saved in the Xara design file (.xar / .web).

And this is automatic, Ed. As Acorn says, once you link to the PDF, Xara will upload it to the link location when you publish your site.

ed, glad you're sorted and especially so as you came back and advised such.
That's a big plus,
