To update a PDF link on your site you will need to log on to the Remote Desktop and locate the original file that you created the PDF from. For example a Word Document. Once your changes are made and you are ready to post it to the web do a "Save as a PDF"  Name it the exact name as the current PDF file on the web. Example if the path to the file is http://www.wou.edu/president/advancement/smith/documents/SeasonTicketsform2012-13.pdf you will need to save the PDF on the X:drive in the presidents/advancement/smith/documents folder with the name SeasonTicketsform2012-13.pdf A message box will pop up saying "The file SeasonTicketsform2012-13.pdf already exists. Do you want to replace the existing file?" Click "Yes" Then open your browser and refresh the page and the new PDF file should appear.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions, gauntzd@wou.edu.
