    If you want users to view the page in an html just use an embed code:

    <OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000" WIDTH=450 HEIGHT=450> <PARAM NAME="SRC" VALUE="pdf-file-name-here.pdf"> <EMBED SRC="pdf-file-name-here.pdf" HEIGHT=450 WIDTH=450> <NOEMBED> Your browser does not support embedded PDF files. </NOEMBED> </EMBED></OBJECT>

    or just link to the pdf like:

    <a href="www.url.com/file.pdf" target="_blank"> Click Here To View The PDF</a>

    I would recommend creating a new .zip file and dragging the file into it. From there just FTP that zip file to your site. To link to it, just put:

    <a href="file.zip"> Download / View </a>

    This will create a text link to the file where visitors can download the zip file, open it and then view the files inside.
