Can I choose what documents use of smart look?
I have some PDF documents on my website that I don't want to use smart look. I want the user to only have the option of downloading them. Is this possible?
My users want to download certain PDFs and if I turn on smart look they won't be able to do so intuitively.
I'm aware that you can right click and "save as" to download, but most users don't know that's possible. There needs to be a more obvious way for them to download. Another option would be to give them a very clear download button once they open the smart look viewer.

Inappropriate?Hi,
I'm reading your feedback as a request for two different enhancements for Smartlook (beta)
1. Disabling Smartlook on idividual files
2. Feature a download button in the Smartlook Publication
Based on the feedback so far, we'll definitely do 2. asap and take 1. under advisement.
Thanks for helping us improve Smartlook (beta)
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?That's the correct assessment. Thanks! Here's an example showing why this matters:
http://www.noteworthy.com/templates/
We're a printing company that's trying to share PDFs that our customers would use to format their artwork. They, obviously, need to be able to download them. Viewing them in a web page isn't very important. It's more important that they can grab them and use them within Adobe CS.
Thanks again.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?anthony, i can think of one way you could fix this right now.
currently, smartlook executes on page load. if you generate your links for the pdfs after pageload, then those won't be hooked into smartlook at all.
for example, the code at the bottom will create two links which will look something like this...
[code]
View it Now! Download PDF
[/code]
...where the "View it Now!" link will be smartlooked but the "Download PDF" link will be a direct link to the pdf.
<a href="myPDF.pdf">View it Now!</a>
<a id="downloadPDF">Download PDF</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout(""+
"document.getElementById('downloadPDF').href="+
"'myPDF.pdf'",1000);
</script>
I’m confident
