Hello All,

A while ago there was a thread about delivering images to clients via a 
website and how to download them while bypassing the browser. There was 
no satisfactory answer, unless you know something about Apache servers or 
use compression methods for Mac and PC.

In fact there is a fairly simple solution.

1. Save the image in Photoshop PDF format. The .pdf extension must be 
included.
2. Start up Acrobat and open the new image via File > Open. The image 
will be made into a standard pdf document. Any number of similar pdf 
image files can be included into the same document, which is saved as a 
normal PDF file.
3. When the user clicks on the link, the PDF file will download 
immediately without opening in the browser first.
4. To open the image in Photoshop, the user must go to File > Open and 
select the PDF file. If there is only one image then it will open 
immediately. If there is more than one, the user can choose from the 
small PDF browser. Most people will double-click on the PDF icon when 
they first see it, so I put a short annotation on the first page 
explaining what to do.

I should think everyone can open PDFs these days and it avoids needing 
the latest versions of sit and zip.

Yours,



Duncan Wherrett
