Did you switch your Joomla editor to HTML mode or raw text mod? The link will not work unless you do.

If you are using the JCE Editor, you can change to HTML mode by clicking
[toggle editor] immediately above all the rows of editor icons above your text once you have opened the article.

Clicking this again will revert back to normal mode

You have the code for the pdf file on your "test pdf" page but when I test the link for it I do not get the pdf file. Does the pdf file exist on your site in the folder it is linked to?
http://julienpaluku.net/files/pdf/com.pdf

Here is the error message I get from Adobe Acrobat when I try to load the "test pdf" page;

Code: Select all

File does not begin with '%PDF-',

Your website is infected with malware (so you should not be sending anyone to look at it).
