Button to download pdf???

[LittleNFiesty]

I want to put a button on my page so when you click on it it downloads a pdf to their computer. But I can't figure out how to do it. HELP!!

P.S. Using DW CS4

A Button? As opposed to a link?

<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.servername.com/path/to/file.pdf">Download[/URL] PDF</a>

If not that, then how about:

<input type=button value="Download PDF" onclick="document.location='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.servername.com/path/to/file.pdf'">[/URL]

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

GREAT!!! Now how do I add that it opens in a new window?

For which one:
For the link you give it a target:

<a href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.servername.com/path/to/file.pdf"[/URL] target="_blank">Download PDF</a>

For the button its slightly more complex, as you need a different function:

<input type=button value="Download PDF" onclick="window.open('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.servername.com/path/to/file.pdf')">[/URL]
