Printing a .pfd file from a web page link - how please?

Featured Replies

I should know how to do this ... but my mind has gone blank! ... or perhaps I never knew!

 

I need to build a link from a webpage which will open a .pdf file and display it to the user in Adobe Acrobat, ready for printing.

 

What is the html code for this please

Multiple Choices

The document name you requested (/menu one.pdf) could not be found on this server. However, we found documents with names similar to the one you requested.

Available documents:

 

/menu one.htm (common basename)

Please consider informing the owner of the referring page about the broken link.

The .pdf file is in the remote site, in the root directory ... but not with a browser.

 

... any ideas

I have just discovered that the browser did not like the space in the file name (bad practice anyway).

 

With no spaces it works OK.

 

Thanks for your time in helping ... it is appreciated

Doesn't matter if it has spaces or not, the browser should replace the space with the equivalent ASCII code (i.e. %<ASCII code>.
