Posting PDF file to public website - Office applications - Office 365

Am using thye public website for our township and all is working pretty well.

Now, I need to add a PDF file for all users to access and cannot see how to get it in there. Tried adding a document and got nowhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

In 365 pdf stands for "please download file". You can add a link to a pdf stored in your documents but users will only be able to save it not open it directly in the browser. Your options are:

Wait for MSFT to roll out a fix (but that will still require the latest version of Acrobat Reader)

Try this brilliant workaround: http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/sharepoint/permissive-browser-file-handling-needed.aspx

Or store pdfs elsewhere like drop box and link to them there.

Hi,

This is Tim with Microsoft Office 365 SharePoint Support.

The issue that you are seeing is by design. This is because of security issues with permissive file handling. In the latest service update, that currently is being applied to the servers, you will have the ability to click on a hyper linked PDF file and have it open in the client application.

I will continue to monitor this thread if you have any additional questions.

Thanks,
