How do i get an Adobe PDf file on the web?

Adam T · Post by **Adam T** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 5:38 pm

I have converted a word document to an Adobe PDF file and collected it from Adobe.com. But how do i now put it on the web so people can look at it. For example, Bruce had a link to a PDF file for the 2006 photo competition winners. You obviously can not download it on photobucket.com (i have tried), so what do i do?

Cheers for anyones help.

Adam,

Exactly the same principal as photos, you need to find some webspace to host it on then link to the URL.

You can attach it using the "Additional Options..." like this:-

Sorry, where did you find the 'additional options' button. I can not seem to find it.

Also, which web space would host it for example?

When you press "Quote" or "Reply" it is below the box you type your message in.

It then uploads it from your computer to the forum (I think) so I don't even think you have to keep your own copy.

If you use the quick reply window press the Preview button and then its underneath your typing window which will come up.

Bummer. Just tried to down load but the forum only allows you to down load 128kB of info. My document is 248KB. If i can break it down then great, otherwise do you know of a web site that will host this file.

Adam, eMail me the file (don't need the Word, Acrobat is o.k. unless password protected) and I will break it into smaller pieces or I may even be able to compress it using Adobe Acrobat Writer. You can upload up to 4 files of 128k each. My eMail address is in my profile.

Thanks very much.

i have just chopped my file in half and i am going to try and download it on to Adobe first separately. If this does not work then i will get back to you.

Cheers

Adam... as a club member, you can upload it to the gallery - that'll take bigger files

Ah, roger that. I will have a look at that now. Cheers

Err, sorry for being thick but how do i download a file on to the Atom club gallery. Again i can not see any obvious buttons to press. Also i have tried logging in to the gallery page with the same password as i use for the club page but it does not work.

Please help this pathetic man

Adam as a favour if you email it to me I'll upload it to my web server and email you back a link to it.

Other than than that there are loads of free web hosting packages available with such as MSN and Yahoo! For example: http://geocities.yahoo.com/ where you can upload files and then link to them.

Or, for Â£35 you can have a year's hosting on a professional server with your own domain name... providing it is available you could have your own top-level domain name, adamt.com for example... just checked, it isn't available, but adm-t.com is so you could have www.adam-t.com with my hosting business for Â£35 per year... then you could have your own website and email (adam@adam-t.com for example), you can have your own forum, photo gallery, you get web stats, you can even check your email in a web browser from any computer in the world and it will still download to your own computer in Outlook or Outlook Express when you get home!... the package comes with full web browser based control panel access so you don't even need to use ftp to upload files you just use the file manager in the cpanel and it's just like saving files to a folder on your own computer! It's as easy as posting on this forum!

But if all that's too much just send me the bloody file and I'll put it on mine for you! It's Christmas after all! LOL
