Creating Direct Page Link To Pdf File

Store Builder Questions
1

Hello All-

I have scoured this forum (3 characters or more;/ ), google, knowledge base, etc. to find out how to set a page to link directly to a PDF file. I created a page, (Content, Page). I then tried “Add Link” under this page with the complete URL. It didn't work.

I don't want a page that has to be opened up and then the user clicks on the link. I want a direct link when they open the page, it goes directly to this pdf file.

I know it is simple to do in WordPress with a plug-in. Anyone have any ideas?

They would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

cmund

Ok, I solved my own problem but wanted to share:

  1. Added PDF file to website's control panel folder
  2. Added an item to my top menu and placed the path and file name in the URL box on that particular item.

If I understood correctly, cmund offered to create a new folder (e.g. files), put the file to this folder via FTP and add the following URL to the top menu:


http://your_domain.com/files/your_file.pdf



Please try

Hi, I need help creating custom styles to add to my page. Each time I edit the styles.css, the rules get overwritten and nothing happens. Please help provide me with pointers on how to create custom styles so that I can start customizing my pages with MY OWN styles.

Thanks

We recommend you to use the CSS section in the theme editor. In this case all custom styles will be saved after upgrades
