Publishing pdf files with Plug-In Problems

[Davethorn]

I am trying to publish some pdf files using plug-In. Some of them work just fine. Some are very slow publishing, and one particular file I have been trying to publish for several hours. It will get about a third of the way done (According to the blue bar) and then it will just stop. I tried leaving it run for a half hour or more at this point, but no more movement. Then I get "program not responding" and I have to start over again. Any suggestions? David

With PDF Files I would be inclined to transfer to them to the server via the FTP.

The link to this pdf would be something like this.

http://www.mysite.com/mydocument.pdf

If you want it to display it within a page template, use an I Frame.

I did see a good thread here recently that also covered this topic. I'll see if I can find it.

The other thing to consider is the size of the pdf file, from a visitors point of view. If its lots of megabytes, visitor might not be happy to wait for download unless you make a reference to it. If the pfd file is just one page, shouldn't be a problem but if it's a 100 page book then that's different.
