I am a newbie webmaven and have had a basic website up for almost a year. I would like to now post my club's newsletters so that folks can look at them on line. I have seen other websites where there is a page that lists the dates, for example, of the newsletters and if you click on the date, the newsletter will open up in adobe as a pdf.

I need some guidance as to how to do this... I tried to search with not much luck. I did manage to get the pdf files onto my file manager, but I am lost as to what folder they should be in in order for the link to work.

My website is http://www.PWSBeekeepers.com

Thanks for any help!

i dont understand why you have put them in ftp, just put them in the main directory doesnt matter where as long the link goes to that file!!!

Whether or not the PDF opens in an embedded adobe reader or downloads is dependent on the user who clicks the link. Just drop the PDF in the web directory and then link [your site]/[whatever directory it's in]/[pdf name].pdf

Your users will be able to access it just fine.
