[ic] (no subject) - pdf

[Raj Bhushan Thakuri]

You need to use [area ...] tag thusly=>

<a href="[area [item-field pdf]]"><font __FFACE__ size="1"
>color="#FF0000"><b>schematic</b></font></a>

or better, create a pdf directory in catalog/pages and link as:

<a href="[area pdf/[item-field pdf]]"><font __FFACE__ size="1"
>color="#FF0000"><b>schematic</b></font></a>

Store '.pdf' file extensions in the database field itself.
