Hey qwerty99,
Simply use the getURL statement as shown, but try including the full path to the PDF file. When the user clicks the link, the PDF file will open if the user has Adobe Acrobat Reader or will provide a download link if the user does not have the PDF reader.

Cheers!

yes… but it still isnt working.

will a relative path (or one with …/) never work?

also, i always want it to download… will i have to pack it
to make it download (.zip, .sit, etc.?)

has anybody gotten this to work?
