Re: "Download" or "View" PDF document?

have said "You can _view_ the KDF6 sales brochure"?

Then these same people are baffled by anything they download from anywhere on the web. It's a problem of theirs, as much as it is if they try to print a page from your site and find that a default printer hasn't been set on their computer. They could hardly expect you to help them with *that*.

Firefox doesn't ask you with each download where you want it to go, but it has a download manager that by default shows a brief notification balloon when download is complete that you can click on to access the file. They can also access it from the Firefox menu using Tools | Downloads. So they don't actually have to know up front where the documents are being stored in order to access them.
