cousin mosquito	Sunday 04 July 2010 3:39:26 pm I have a very basic problem that I cannot find a solution for. If I "link" to a pdf file, the link goes to an ugly intermediate page. If I "embed" the file as an object, it will not let me put it in a bulleted list. Also very very ugly. Do I have to hack the template in order to achieve this very basic thing, or is there some over way that I dont know about? I am not finding anything useful from other peoples queries except editing the templates which I wouldnt have thought I would have to do for such a simple request.

A shame that I have to use tables to make a heading line up with an embedded object link tho. Hardly what they were made for. Asking the dumb questions for your benefit

You will need to construct a link using eZ's "content/download" functionality - this post will tell you how to construct that link properly.
