Hello,
Is it possible to create a download link on a graphic to a PDF on a remote server, without giving away it's URL?
In other words, hide the URL of the server the PDF is on, when it's being download.

You could probably remove the hand pointer that appears over a link so it wouldn't appear there is a link present.

To hide the link I don't think you can use normal html. You need to use a server side code. See this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31 ... s-in-html

See the following url it uses jQuery to download the file which if the script was use as a external file rather than added to the HTML would hide the path to the pdf or any file used.
