Ordering booklets
ASX booklets can be ordered in hardcopy in limited numbers, free of charge, by calling ASX Customer Service on 131 279.
Linking to ASX booklets
Alternately you may link to sections of the ASX website provided the conditions detailed under the "Terms of use" are met. As some of these booklets are compulsory booklets, i.e. clients must read them before they can invest, ASX must ensure only the latest version of the particular booklet is distributed. This means we don't allow you to host the PDF files on your site rather that the link on your site actually downloads the PDF file from the ASX site. To your clients ASX's involvement will be almost invisible and visitors to your site will not leave your site.
Setting this up is very easy. On your site you create the page and link where you want the booklet to download from. The link is simply the address of the PDF file of the brochure you want from the ASX site. For example say you wanted to offer your site visitors the ability to download the Getting started in shares PDF from your site. You firstly create the section on your site where you want users to access the file, so this might be something like:
