I'm not sure I am in the right place but I have a questions about PDF. I know how to print to PDF but I do not understand how to connect this to an HTML so I can link to my AWeber as a follow up message.

Can anyone help? or Have I not explained it so you understand.

Thanks,

Fan

Don't know anyway to put a link for the whole document so that it will re-direct to a HTML page ... now you can put links in the PDF that people can click, thus directing them to a HTML page .... maybe turn the PDF into a JPG or PNG and you can put a hyperlink to that type of image.

Am I correct or anybody else with a solutiion?

Ok! I can create a PDF link but when I go to AWeber and add this to my follow up message how do I add the HTML?

Thanks,

Fran

Your PDF is not an HTML document .... it is similar to a Word Doc etc but in the PDF format

Now you can make the content of your PDF into a HTML document but this is a separate document altogether,
then you can link it in your message ... put a "Print" button on the HTML document and it can be printed just like a PDF.

If you need help doing so please PM me.

Does that answer your question?

Hi Fran - Welcome to the forum :)

You want to send this PDF file to your subscribers through an Aweber follow-up message, correct? If so, first you need to upload the PDF file to a web server such as your hosting account.

Let's say your domain name is mydomainname.com and you upload the PDF file to the root directory (in the www or public_html folder). Then you would include this link in your follow-up message:

mydomainname.com/myPDFfile.pdf

(using the correct name and capitalization of your actual PDF file of course)

If you created a folder (or directory) named "free" on your web server, and uploaded your PDF file there, then your link would look like this instead:

mydomainname.com/free/myPDFfile.pdf

In both cases, you must include the http://www in front of that link, of course.

Does that help?
