Hi @Sanjana,

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to Netlify’s Support Forums!

Could you clarify the issue you’re having with downloading the pdf? Could you provide steps to replicate the issue? Are you seeing an error message in the dev console?

HI,
on the navbar component i have Resume which has to download when i click on it automatically.
In Local it was working fine but after deployment i find my resume is not downloading properly i can a message saying " File wasnt available on site"

@Sanjana The issue is that the URL is wrong.

Your Resume link is pointing to:

This is trying to load:
https://portfolio-sanjanatu.netlify.app/src/assets/Sanjana_FullStack_Resume.pdf

The only PDF mentioned in your build log is:

4:38:31 PM: dist/assets/Sanjana_FullStack_Resume-wWsbjXDq.pdf 82.84 kB

You also have a post vite build command of cp src/assets/*.pdf dist/assets/
Which is attempting to copy any pdf files from src/assets/ to dist/assets/

Assuming that you have set your Publish directory to dist and that the original filename was Sanjana_FullStack_Resume.pdf that means the file’s locations are:

The one output by vite β†’
https://portfolio-sanjanatu.netlify.app/assets/Sanjana_FullStack_Resume-wWsbjXDq.pdf

The one you moved over via the cp command β†’
https://portfolio-sanjanatu.netlify.app/assets/Sanjana_FullStack_Resume.pdf

Both of those exist.

Thank you @nathanmartin
I was able to fix the issue with your guidance. :slightly_smiling_face:

I too have a question
During my bootcamp my instructor asked us not to use anchor tag as it could create some issue during the deployment in netlify.

Does really the netlify create a problem if we use tag in our project during deployment?

@Sanjana What do you mean by an β€œanchor tag”?

You can write what you mean in a Markdown β€œcode block” on this forum by using three backticks ``` before and after the code, e.g.

<a href="#myitem">This is some HTML code</a>

Do you mean the β€œanchor element” itself?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a

Or specifically what many people refer to as an β€œanchor link” where the href is set to an identifier on the page, e.g. #myitem?
