Terry, the simplest if the form is the web page is to have a button "Print this page" with a web link of javascript:window.print();.
If you want a genuine download link then that is a different kettle.
Simplest would be to create a rectangle Placeholder with body code of <a href="index_htm_files/151by6 source.pdf" download="fred";>Download this form!</a>.
The PDF would have to be dragged onto the page as a link for Xara to know about it.
This only works on modern browsers, otherwise it just opens the form.

Acorn The simplest form is exactly what I wanted and believe it or not I have got it working. Many thanks as normal. Terry
Had to abandon the "Print Page" option for now. I could only get it to work correctly with Edge. Chrome, IE and Firefox printed offset and small, have I missed something.
Pleased that it printed but not any good if it is not correct. Terry

Thanks for coming back to me, as most of the site is working well, I will come back to this problem later. Terry
All pages on the site are displaced to the right. I have had to attach the complete site because I did not know how or if I could attach a single page. The particular page I'm interested in callers to print is the "Seniors Open". When I go to other sites their "Print Page" comes out perfectly OK, whatever browser I'm using so I assume it is my error. Any ideas please.
Further question how do I delete captured images in the "File Upload Manage" Terry
I would use a .pdf with the necessary link to it. You could add a short instructions text box for those that are computer challenged and even include a link to a reader such as Foxit or Adobe. Most modern browsers will guide the user once a link is clicked, so the user can choose to download the form or open the form if the browser is not configured to open it within the browser. I personally don't want a button that automatically prints a .pdf or any other document until I have seen it as some files have blank pages or unneeded pages and I can choose which page(s) to print. Just my way of working with forms but it does work and Xara / Magix makes it easy to add the link - no coding necessary.
Thanks for the reply, as you can see I have used the simplest solution as per Acorn's reply. However I don't think my terminology refers to the "forms" as you know it. We have a pre printed application form that has to be posted back to us with other documents. Apologies if my statement was confusing. However I think your instruction will be needed in the future.
