Allow users to access multiple, linked files with one-click?

In our Help application, we have a list of documents a user may want to download. They are all PDF files. Currently, we have the hyperlink properties set for each one to open in a new window, where the user can then print or save to a local computer. This works fine; however, I find it clunky user-experience when a user needs to download multiiple files. I understand that RH is not designed as a document repository, but does anyone know if there is a hidden gem in RH10 that allows you to create multiple file download options? I would like a check box in front of each file, which would allow a user to select multiple files to open/download.

Possible? Yes. Easy? No.

In the case you describe, you need a server side scripts that zips up all required PDF documents that you can then download at once. There is no way to do this in WebHelp only.

William -

Thanks for the reply. I did not think RH has this capability, but wanted to verify.

I am thinking about adding "download" to each href, so users can immediately save the file to their local computer instead of opening the PDF in a new window and then saving it.
