I want to share a PDF file on my website. When people click on the link to
download the file, it automatically opens the file in adobe reader. I do not
want this action. I want them to save the file to disk. Can you please tell
me how to accomplish this. Thank you.
 
Then you will have to place a note next to the link instructing the user to right click and select
save to disk, etc.

Thank you both Mike and Thomas for your responses.

What can I do with the "parameters" function inside the hyperlink properties?

Can I set parameters to "save file to disk"?

Can I share a folder and have files in a folder?
 
There is nothing that you can set in HTML, etc. to control this.

Click to expand...
 
Right click, Save As.

Or put it in a Zip file.

Or link in the usual manner; then people can view it as normal and have the
option to view *and* save it using their Adobe Reader (which is one of the
limited features the reader does allow you to save the PDF doc to wherever
you want).
 
The "parameters function" appends a querystring to the URL. This is
not applicable to most links, and not to a link to a .pdf or .zip
file.
