Attaching a .pdf to a Googlemap Bubble. (1 Viewer)

[moandick]

Hello all - I need a computer boffin's help urgently!

I have a google map of the UK Sites attached to our web site - and it has been requested that I attach a .pdf copy of each site to the 'bubble' of information for that site.

How do I attach a .pdf copy of one of our site pages to a google map 'bubble?

Do I upload it to Picasa - how do I get it from there to the Google bubble?

To attach a web site is easy - but how do I attach a .pdf?

Anybody know?

Dick

Hi Dick

You host the pdf. on a web site such as Picasa or photobucket then use the picture url.. Google explain it quite well

here is the Map help page ..

I got that far already, Jim.

I can attach the picture to the bubble but what I cannot do at present is get it to print a proper 'full-size' A4 page - all I get is either a thumb-nail or a ¾ size page printout.

Cracked it, thank goodness

I found that by uploading the page to Acrobat.com as a host site - then downloading the page (as it appears on the 'click' in the site bubble) to my own specified location, I can print a full size page from there!

I now just have to visit about 500 sites in both Guides to attach the page locations! oh:

Many thanks for your help, anyway, Jim - much appreciated.

Thanks for the update Dick, I was trying to figure it out ... easy when you know how..

Perhaps the way forward for the BPG is to have it on line with Google map links .. save you a lot of hard copy publishing, mail costs and easily updated ..

best of luck with the project
