Linking to pdf files

[rwlade]

How do I generate a folder, place pdf files in it and then link to them?

Been awhile since I was in this forum, so I hope someone can give me a hint or two. Thanks!

Drag each of your PDF files onto your Xara page and click the Add Link button. Export the site. Job done, as the PDFs are now in the index_htm_files folder.
What I usually then do is delete the PDF icons and add my own linked text or buttons and recover the PDF filename from Web Properties > Link > Link to file (PDF, ...).

If you have control over where your site is published: on the server create a folder, upload all your PDFs there.
In Xara, create a text or button link and in the Web Properties > Link > Link to Web (...) address, you would enter the relative path to the folder and each PDF filename.

You can also use the Website Properties > Link To > Link to PDF option and browse to the location of the PDF. Xara makes a copy of the PDF and add it to the index_htm_files folder when you publish your site.
