linking to pdf files on my pc.

Can someone walk me through linking a page to a pdf file so that the details of my pdf file shows on that web page I am creating.

I created a page with a text object, entered a title for the file to be linked and created the link to the pdf file on my computer.

When I preview the program the link showing at the bottom indicates that it is looking for a html formatted file and not my pdf format.

PDF can be shown in a webpage if you use the PDF widget to display them AND if your visitors have Acrobat Reader (which is free) installed on their PC.

I use this function and it works fine.

You can also use the link function, as suggested.
