require info before downloading

I have several documents that I would like to have available on my site, but I want to gather some basic info from the user before they download the document. Any idea on how to accomplish this?

If you want to use the FP form handler, then create a form to get the info, then point the form to a
custom confirmation page that has a link to the document for downloading. Keep in mind that once a
person has done this once they can bookmark the location and then by the form in the future.

A better solution would be use server-side scripting, such as ASP, PHP, etc. to get the info, then
provide the user with the document download prompt.

How did you get your documents on your site in the first place and make them available for download. That's where I'm stuck.

With your web open, File | Import them into a folder, then create a link to
the file.
