Adding links to a PDF

The instruction to "exclude non-ASCII characters" isn't particularly helpful.

The ASCII character set includes a lot of characters that a lot of file systems can't handle properly in filenames, e.g. ?, *, !, /, \, etc.

If you make sure your file name contains only western alphabet letters (either case) - a, B, c, etc. - arabic numerals - 1, 2, 3, etc. - hyphens and underscores (including the single "dot" before the file extension of course) then you shouldn't have any filename-specific problems.

This also means that you should avoid using spaces in filenames. Spaces can cause all kinds of problems when you move files between different file systems. (You get lots of %20% "garbage" in your file name.) Best to avoid them.

hi ged

a general suggestion from my side: please, when you talk about a problem try to be as specific as possible.

in the case of the filename it would be much simpler for you and helpful for us if you just would write the filename in your post.

if possible, at this time uploading somewhere a copy of the pdf would help people helping you!

have a wonderful day

I added a filename and tried again but no luck.  Nevertheless, I still think my problem is in the pdf properties.   ???  Perhaps the fonts.  Something is strange because the properties mention fonts that I never used?

I tried with the mentioned process but problem is related to the link as it is resisting the hyperlink. I tried to attach the link in an essay outline template the problem continuously irritating me and I though that it is the problem of my pdf reader none other than this.
