PDF Link shows up blank white

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have chosen squarespace to design a new website for one of our new brands.

The website is a one pager, with couple of machines we are able to install/customize.
For some I wanted to make a button after short descreption, which upon clicking would download and open a specification sheet in PDF.

I have created the button, uploaded the pdf which is 3000kb, ticked the box to use that file on the given button, clicked save.
Saved the whole process.

When I open the website, click the button it redirects me to "https://static1.squarespace.com/........" URL, but the page is completly empty. Not a single error message or else.

I have tried the steps above with different PDFs, even one which contains a single word, but it does not seem to work.

I have tired to create a new blank page, make links and button to the same upploaded PDFs and they all work fine.
Copying the button and inserting it to the original home page is possible, but upon clicking the same white blank appears.

 

Is there an option somewhere, which I cant find that disables uploaded content to be opened?

For future visitors to this thread: I just had the same issue - but once I set up my client with a subscription and no longer was operating the site as a trial site it worked just fine. 
Chances are, if you can see the pdf pop up when you click your link while you are in the editor previewing the site, once you have a subscription site set up, you should be able to download.
