 * I was really excited to find this plug-in, but can’t get one of my pdf files 
   to switch to the updated replacement pdf. I’ve done the same thing that I’ve 
   done with others… this time also trying to upload the new version with both the
   same name and a different name and nothing seems to work. When I go to the url
   that should have the replaced pdf, it is the same one as before. Any ideas on
   what I can do?

 * There are a couple of reasons this can happen. First of all, make sure you are
   not seeing a locally cached file by performing the download using another computer.
 * Second, make sure your web server has the correct permissions needed to overwrite
   the file.
