Hello. I linked a PDF to a button, and have it set to "open in new window." When i preview the site and click on the button, a new window opens -- it seems like the PDF file is about to open, but then the window turns blank and the http changes to: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/... Can someone help me in navigating and solving this issue? Thanks!

To adding more context on the static1 host, it's where Squarespace hosts your uploaded file to the Link manager or custom css

So even when upload a pdf file it is accessible as example.com/s/your.pdf, that path is actually a redirect that will point to the real path on Static host
