Hi,
i have one quick question.
I am creatinga page which has got some links which should open pdf file.
In page body content here is the following code
h4 March 2, 2009 /h4
a href="http://localhost/drupal/news/downloads/20080804-American_Electric_Techno..." American Electric Technologies Reports Improved Fourth Quarter and Annual Results for 2008 /a

The actual path of the file is in
drupal\sites\all\themes\aeti\news\downloads

but when i click on the link it says page not found
where am i going wrong in giving the path?

files should be uploaded through drupal where drupal will place them into the files folder and their path will be files/somefile.pdf

try:
files/18-aeti_annual_report.pdf

no preceeding /

Depending on the module you are using to upload, a link may be automatically created. Could you please state how you are uploading the files ?

Hi, I'm having the same problem: Here's what I do:

1) copy/paste the file using Filezilla
2) link to the file in a blog/page/whatever post using FCKEditor
3) Save the page
4) Try the link: FAIL

Suggestions?

For you to be able to use pdf, create a new content type and name it accordingly. Then, let the settings be as default and check to make sure that attachment is enable. save it, and try creating a new pdf content type. Upload the file and you are done. You can reference it too after saving.

hope that helps
