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.
