    Hi,

    I have a difficulty with a button :
    I’d like to have the button start a download of a pdf file.
    I have set it up so it opens in new window but how can I make it download ?

    other matter : I have a long text for button and only part of the button is clickable. Is it normal ?

    Button “Télécharger la demande de participation”

    Hey totofunk!

    You need to use the form tag to make a download button.

    <form><input type="button" value="Download Now" onClick="window.location.href='DOWNLOAD LINK HERE'"></form>

    Cheers!

    ok thanks.
    How can I implement it in a call to action button within a promo box ?

    Hi!

    Enable the Promo Button, then set the Button Link? to “Set Manually”. Add the link of the pdf file and set “Open Link in new Window?” to “Open in a new window”. The pdf file will be downloaded automatically when the button is click especially when the user has a download app like “IDM”. If it doesn’t automatically download and directly open the pdf file, users can manually save the file on their computers.

    Cheers!

    Hi all,

    I’m quite a newbie – how do I make a PDF file downloadable from within an icon list?

    Is there a form tag I have to edit and if so, where do I edit it?

    Thanks

    Hey!

    Just configure each icon list then look for “Title Link?” then choose “Set Manually”. Choose “Yes” under “Open in new window”.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Thanks – but I mean without first loading the PDF in a different window (because some browsers aren’t displaying it correctly), so it would just automatically download when you click on it, or give you the “save as” option?

    Hey!

    You can manually insert the button link on a Text Block element. You can use this:

    <form><input type="button" value="Download Now" onClick="window.location.href='DOWNLOAD LINK HERE'"></form>

    Regards,
    Ismael
