For some time now I've been meaning to make a simple note about PDF pages on web sites.
While there are some cases where a PDF file is useful, for the most part people don't like to hit on a page and break the flow of cruising the web to open a PDF page.
If you're going to have a PDF page on your site always, always, always, place a note next to the link that it is a PDF.
You want text to appear when someone mouses over text on your page? Here's the script:

The first part of the script marked title is what will appear when a person mouses over the actual text.
The href is of course the URL for the link you've chosen and the target="_blank" part of the script will open a new browser. The actual text on the page is the last section just before the ending which closes the script.
It will look like this:
