How can I link to a PDF file?
You can add a link to an external PDF file.
Symptom
I am trying to insert a cross-reference to a PDF file into a topic that will be post processed in the HTML environment.
Problem
IXIASOFT CCMS indicates that it cannot validate the href attribute because the file cannot be found.
Solution
- Set the format
attribute to pdf and the scope attribute to external. For example:
<xref href="sample.pdf" format="pdf" scope="external"/>
