Thats ok Shine. I ended up throwing the pdf's in a folder on my server and using multi menu to link to them. I hope to find a better solution in the future.

I know you can stuff them in an iframe, or attach to an article and yes.... even treat them as a download. However those solutions leaves them outside your normal article management.

I hope I am able to offer a solution, help, or offer some motivation for this quest. I will continue to look for code and good solutions.

Up till now I haven't managed to open the visit.php within the website itself like i.e singlelink.php does. I wonder what would happen if instead the visit.php pop ups, will open within the website and the 'download' file opens within that. After all, the visit.php actually takes care of leading to the download/pdf-file.\

Could this be an idea of trying with the mydownloads module?

Would this bypass the web browsers integrated adobe capability? Another though... would large pdfs cause a time out while trying to open?
