Printable files on my website

Hi

I am compiling a standard register of forms for my company intranet, whereby all of our most commonly used forms (purchase orders, holiday forms etc) can be found and printed. i would like to display these firstly just as a jpeg or something so people now what they are looking at, and secondly as an actual file so they can print the form out as if it were a normal file. Displaying the picture i can handle but what about the printable file?

Thanks for your help.

Duncan

RE: printable files on my website

Hi Duncan,

You can upload the files in whatever format they are in, and link to them in the same way you would link to a web page.

The person downloading the file will need to have the reader installed. eg. If it's a .DOC file, they'll need to have Word installed. If it's a .PDF file, they'll need to have Adobe Reader installed.

I'd recommend having a 'downloads' folder to store these files in.

The code might be something like this:
<a href="/download/form1.pdf"><img src="/image/thumbnails/form1.jpg" alt="download form 1"></a>

Granted, you may need to convert the 'forms' to a format that everyone can view (eg. .DOC or .PDF).

Also, if the forms are quite simple, you could make them as HTML files themselves, using standard HTML form elements (I'd recommend laying them out in a table so it's neat!)

Let me know how you get on. If this solves your question, please mark this post as resolved. Thanks.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

Testing a site

When developing a site, you have to cater to the widest possible audience allowing for users with different browsers and display settings.
Test pages to see how they look with:

- different display resolutions
- browser with graphics turned off
- many different browsers not just IE
- if possible different operating systems.
