Hi,
Firstly I need to point out that i'm not very good at html and the back end of DNN, I just mainly use modules and insert text and images, but i'm trying to learn a bit more.
I'm using DNN 9.3.2
I am using a theme called Porto and is has some shortcoes that can be used.
I'm trying to make a button open up a pdf that I have on my server.

The shortcode is: 

< button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">Default Size

But how do i modify this code to open a pdf.

I have done it with a text link as followes:

 

< a href="/Portals/17/WorcesterPA%20Directions.pdf" target="_blank">Click here for location map and parking instructions

 

I have been trying to add the < a> tag inside the < button>tag but I just cant get it to work.

 

< button>Any ideas, i'm sure it something simple but it has me stumped...:(

Kind regards,
Matt

Normally the styling depends on the CSS class not the type of element.
So

< a class="btn btn-primary" href="...">Open Pdf< /a>
Should work
