Publish PDF or Word files tips: First you need upload PDF / Word files to the folder of your hosting server (Web site). Then add interlinks to these files at the specific locations of your web page HTML file.


Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) is a great way to display documents and to be printed. You can use it for the documents you don't want people to be able to edit. The PDF document is also independent of the application software, hardware and operating system used to create, display, or print it. Here is the Acrobat Reader Web site 
 
It’s easy to include a PDF or Word file on your web page, so your readers can open it or download it directly.

Create your PDF / Word files
Use Adobe Acrobat or other PDF printer to create PDF file (e.g. Test1.pdf using free PDF converter software)
Use Microsoft Office or other software to crate word file (e.g. Test2.doc).

Find the PDF / Word file folder of your website
Find the folder name where you will upload the PDF and Word files to? Main folder or another folder on your Web site? If you have a lot of PDF /Word files, it's better to keep them in a separate directory> The main folder can be used mainly for HTML files. (e.g., you can create a new folder “documents” for both PDF and Word files)

Upload PDF / Word file to the folder of your hosting server (Web site)
Upload your PDF / Word files (Test1.pdf, Test2.doc) to the folder (e.g., “documents”) of your hosting server. You can use the easy file upload program that your Web hosting service provides (e.g., CPanel File Manager) or use a FTP program to upload your pdf file to your Web site.

Make a link to the PDF / Word file on your Web page
Use HTML editor (free software NotePad++) to link the PDF / Word file to your Web page. Add the hyperlink to the place where you want the link to show up in the body of your webpage HTML file.

If you had uploaded the PDF /Word file on the same (your hosting) server, the code would look like:
<a href ="documents/Test1.pdf">Click here for the Test1.pdf PDF file</a>
<a href ="documents/Test2.doc">Click here for the Test2.doc Word file</a>

If you had uploaded the PDF /Word file on a different hosting server, the code would look like this instead:
<a href ="http://www.yourwebsite.com/documents/Test1.pdf">Click here for the Test1.pdf PDF file</a>
<a href ="http://www.yourwebsite.com/documents/Test2.doc">Click here for the Test2.doc Word file</a>





Testing the link on your Web page
When click the link on your Web page, the PDF / Word file will be opened or can be saved as a file on the reader’s computer.
