How to Insert PDF Files Into FrontPage

PDF is an accessible file format for users to view a document the exact way its designer envisioned it. Adding a PDF to your website is a two-part task; you must first upload the file from your computer to your site and then insert it into a page. In Microsoft FrontPage 2003, the process is straightforward using commands from the main menu.

Instructions

1. Click "File" in the main menu, and select "Import."

2. Click "Add File," select the PDF file from your PC folders and click "Open," then "OK."

3. Click "Insert" in the main menu, on the page from which you wish to link the PDF. Select "Hyperlink" from the drop-down menu.

4. Click "Existing File or Web Page," and select the PDF file from your list of FrontPage files. Enter hyperlink text, such as "Click here" or "Essay (PDF)," or leave blank to show just the URL. Click "OK." When you save and publish your website, users can click the link to view or download the PDF.
