    I want to supply a PDF file for download. I could not find any instructions on this in the documentation. I could successfully create a link to my pdf file, But the entire pdf now opens in an extra tab. I shows only the first page of the PDF and I can not download it from there. I want the visitor to be able to download the pdf. Can anyone help me with this?

    Thanks

      @jhc sounds like totally normal browser behaviour. If you want to trigger a direkt download just make it a zip. Most Browsers open PDFs in a new tab as preview nowadays.

        Dear @jhc
        I agree with @edgrbnz . That is normal.

        Best!

        I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
        šŸ’æ Email me here: šŸ’æ
        info@laytheme.com

        Before you post:
        1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
        2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
        3. Disable all Plugins
        4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

        This often solves issues you might run into

        When you post:
        1. Post a link to where the problem is
        2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
        3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
