button: enable: true label: "get my resume here" link: "/pdfs/walid_bousseta_EN.pdf"

Hey @walidbou6

Sorry to hear that. You should put your PDF in the static folder, and then you can do it.

I have put the pdf in the following path; /assets/pdfs/walid_bousseta_EN.pdf

I also tried puting it in the data folder that just gived me an error can't load the pdf format

as well created a static folder at the following structure |--data |--themes |--static |----|--pdfs |----|-----|--walid_bousseta_EN.pdf | --.gitignore |--... and use the following script:

button: enable: true label: "get my resume here" link: "static/pdfs/walid_bousseta_EN.pdf"

still not working, getting a 404 error

I got this working by creating a static folder and linking as follows:

|--static |----|--pdfs |----|-----|--example.pdf

Link: /pdfs/example.pdf
