The bit I was replying to was to do with leaving the .ext off the
hyperlink, and not having a file on the web site without an extension.
The browser used the .ext of the file to decide how to open it but if
there was no e.ext in the hyperlink then the browser would work on the
first one it found if the name part was the same.
I agree it is bad practice and I was just trying to convince the OP that
leaving to .ext out of the hyperlink was not a solution to the original
problem

Can see all your points and the theory is good

but

the only way I could get it to work when putting the hyperlink in was to
leave the ext off. Whenever i put the ext on then it would give me an error
reading whenever I tried to use the link

So hence I had to type it in this way

www.mysite.com/folder/filename

I have uploaded the site and had around 10 people test it for me and it has
worked well for each one.

Each file name is unique that's probably why it worked :-> I'll just make
sure that if I have to do this again that all file names are unique.

When I uploaded the files to the site they did have ext names ie .pdf and
..doc but I never used those on the hyperlink.

DavidF · External Since: Mar 18, 2004 Posts: 3032

Chareen,

Perhaps part of your problem is that your computer is still set to not show
extensions.

This is one of the first things I change when setting up a computer, and I
really don't know why it is the default. But if you haven't already... Start
> Settings > Control Panel > Folder Options > View > uncheck Hide Extensions
for known file types. From that point on all the files on your computer will
show the extensions and perhaps help you when writing your links. You can't
rely on being able to download or load files on your server without
extensions.

You need to change the address by editing the hyperlink in your local
Publisher file by adding your website address URL/PDF file name, then upload
the pdf to your remote site by double click public_html on the remote FTP
site and transferring the pdf using the arrow to public_html
The problem is: the pdf doc is on your local site, thats why the link does
not work. the address is local address when you created the hyperlink. So
just upload the pdf to your remote public_html then change the address by
amending the hyperlink on your local PUB file.
Check the link on preview after you have worked out the correct address when
editing hyperlink, but the pdf also needs to be under your remote
public_html. Ther are also other ways to fix the problem

Hi Brad,

I read the thread between you and John G. in the regular newsgroup and it
appears that you got the basics down, and are getting your links to your
external files working. What is your question in this post?

I noticed a couple things from the other group... You are currently just
loading your external files into your 'public_html' folder...your root
folder or root directory. What John was suggesting was to create a subfolder
or another directory within the 'public_html' folder to contain your
external files instead of just letting them loose. He suggested a subfolder
called 'my_stuff'. I would suggest something even more simple such as
'downloads'. Then your link would be changed to:
http://www.daltonwineltd.com/downloads/TNotes_05CR_CabMerlot_CH2960.pdf ,
instead of http://www.daltonwineltd.com/TNotes_05CR_CabMerlot_CH2960.pdf .

I suggested 'downloads' instead of 'my_stuff' because I think using the
underscore confuses people. When you look at John's link you can't tell that
there is an underscore because of the hyperlink underline. This suggests to
people that they can put spaces in there file names, and that can break the
links at worst, and at best create a bad looking link. For example you have
a link:
http://www.daltonwineltd.com/2008%20BQ%20Cab%20Sav%20South%20Eastern%2...stralia .
All the '%20's in the link are spaces in your file. Either use the
underscore in the file or don't use either and instead use all lower case or
perhaps 2008BqCabSavSouthEasternAustralia.doc...in other words use upper
case for each new word. What ever you do be consistent so that you don't
make mistakes in your files and link writing.

Once again, it is not clear what your question is in this post. Please post
again. And for others who have happened upon this post the central question
is how to include external files in a Publisher web, and the best article
describing this is: Including external files in a Publisher web:

Thanks David. Basics! i'm a master now!
Yes trying to be more consistent and thinking about adding a folder for
downloads but wanting to buy Expression Web 3 for an even better look. Trying
to copy and paste Chinese content from a suppliers website into a word doc
then convert to PDF but its comes up a mess. Any tips? Can i add a folder in
public_html for pictures which are actually saved website pages?
Is there anyway i can somehow transfer my files, content from PUB to
Expression or do i have to start from scratch? What are the benefits of
expression and how much different is it to PUB?
Is it o.k to delete the external files from local site in FTP as there are
many similiar files, some English, some Chinese?
Links to JPEG's aren't as good as PDF's, anyway of converting a JPEG to a PDF?

Cheers

ew3.0 trial is available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/try-it/Default.aspx?filter=web3

SharePoint designer 2007 is available for free here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/FX100487631033.aspx

Chinese content? No idea other than perhaps use paste special for more
options. Perhaps post your question in the Word group.

You can add as many subfolders to public_html as you want. I have an
'images' folder plus many others as I build my site with multiple Publisher
files and upload to separate subfolders and link all together. Subfolders or
subdirectories are a great way to organize your site and you don't end up
with a lot of misc. files loose in your root directory.

A web page saved as an image is likely to be a big file, slow to download.
You might consider saving as a MHT and loading that to the subfolder...but
then I don't know what you are trying to do.

In general because the code generated by Publisher is so different, you
won't be happy with the results of trying to 'transfer' or import your web
files into EW. It has been reported that importing into Sharepoint can work,
but I haven't done it. I think that given how small your site is, it would
be faster to just rebuild your site from scratch rather than deal with the
differences in the code.

Expression Web and Sharepoint replaced FrontPage. EW is a full out web
editor that is intended to generate 'standards compliant' code. You should
plan on learning basic html coding and php coding and in general a much
larger learning curve, but in the long term you will have fewer limitations.
Publisher is a DTP that has some html generating capability. It might be a
good choice for someone who already owns the program and knows how to use it
to build print publications. They can use the same skill set to build
relatively simple, basic, static sites, and with some tweaking with format
and layout can obtain good cross browser capability though no version of
Publisher produces 'standards compliant' code. However, it is limited and if
you want open ended potential then choose Web Expression or even SharePoint
would probably be a better choice.

I can't tell you it is ok to delete a file. If I did, you would surely need
that one. I tend to backup, my backups so I would rather have multiple
copies of a file than risk not having any backup. Just spend a bit more time
organizing your files with Windows Explorer...

Links aren't as good to jpg??? Not sure what you are saying except that they
might be a lot larger in file size and take longer to download. Convert?
Sure, just print them to pdf just like you would any file. You might need to
use another pdf tool: www.primopdf.com is a good one and I like the option
of screen resolution or print.

I think that covers your questions...others will have different views.

Thanks
Already tried the trial of EX3
Gotcha on the sub folders. nice and clean
Can i use sharePoint to amend my PUB File?
I want to master PUB then move on to something better but not writing code
I'll use Primo to convert the JPEG AND GIF files to PDF as GIF doesn't open
when i click the link and has to be saved before opening
Can primo covert GIF to PDF?

You won't be able to move back and forth from Publisher to SharePoint.
Publisher code is proprietary.

I really don't understand why you need to convert jpg or gif to pdf...why
don't you just insert them into a Publisher web page? Anything you can print
can be converted to a pdf.

O.k

I can insert them into a web page but most of them will be downloads.
Why don't i then just insert all 40 of them into webpages?
Will this give me better Google results?
If i do this. How can i add my Company logo and delete the supplier contact
info from a PDF? I think i will need to purchase Adobe pro?
