This happens to me all the time. I change say a PDF and publish but the
changes don't get published. I even remove the hyperlink and replace it with
the new pdf and it still doesn't get published. My publishing options are
set to publish changed pages only.

Any Clue
 
Run a Tool Recalculate Hyperlinks
- always File Import your media files

Not sure what you mean about File Import Media Files, can you elaborate
Click to expand...

What Stefan meant was this:

When you change a file, like a PDF, JPG, GIF, etc., which is located in
your FrontPage web, but you use another program to edit it, like Acrobat
or a graphics program, etc., then Front Page has no way of knowing that
it has changed. Even though Windows Explorer shows a revised date, the
Front Page meta data files (in the hidden vti_* folders) does not get
updated.

To get the dates in synch, select the folder where the files should be
located, go to the File menu, select "Import", browse to the files
(which are probably already in the folder you want them to be in),
select the files you've changed, and Click OK. Front page will ask if
you want to overwrite the files already in the folder. Say YES, and
Front Page will update it's meta data. Then when you publish, Front
Page will recognize that the files have changed, and will upload the
revised files.
 
I actually deleted the old file from the web and saved the new one. To get
it right I had to FTP the server and delete from there then when I published
it was ok. I'll keep in mind what you both told me. thanks again
 
Usually overwriting AND Recalculate Hyperlinks will fix it...on occasion
though with image files particularly, I'd re-insert them into the design.
