HOW - Opening *.pdf (Adobe 4.0) and *.doc's automatically

[londonkiwi]

Can someone point me to a site or please tell me how to do the following with Dreamweaver:

I want include newsletters on my site (monthly). These newsletters are in *.pdf format. Ofcourse the user may not have the adobe reader. I can make a link to adobe so they can get this plug in.

BUT how do you "tell" dreamweaver that "news_let200.pdf" is the one it should open when that page is selected?

thanks in anticipation

I am doing what you seem to be asking for all the time. I simply use the properties menu bar and choose the link I want to use. Then point that link to the .pdf file and save. Then when a person clicks on the link, it will automatically open Acrobat Reader ( providing its installed) and show the page in .pdf format. Its hard to not put a link for the folks who do not yet have Acrobat Reader installed, however, its getting fewer and fewer of them anyways.
