On a regular basis I see inquiries about exactly how to submit or share PDF documents on Facebook. At this time, Facebook doesn't support straight uploading of PDF documents, yet they do support connecting to existing web content. So, utilizing this strategy you can share all your PDF web content-- from annual reports to kinds.
Linking to existing content calls for that your PDF file lives someplace that is openly obtainable-- like Dropbox or Google Drive. Given that I do so much operate in Acrobat, I'm mosting likely to utilize the Acrobat.com cloud service, which is directly integrated with Acrobat as well as Adobe Viewers. This cloud-based solution is particularly beneficial since your PDF files can be accessed from any computer or mobile device, which is excellent for Facebook. If you do not have Acrobat or Viewers set up on your system, you can additionally create your very own totally free account on Acrobat.com and access it using your web browser.
Initially, I'll submit my PDF documents to Acrobat.com. You can either do this by directing your web browser to files.acrobat.com and also finalizing in. Or, from within Acrobat or Reader by clicking the cloud symbol in the toolbar, which will certainly submit your PDF documents to Acrobat.com. I'll use the cloud symbol from within Acrobat.
Next, open your web internet browser and also browse to files.acrobat.com and also check in if you haven't already. Inspect the box alongside your PDF file as well as click the Send out File symbol.
Under Send out To check the Public Web link box and also click the Create Web link switch.
Once the public link is produced pick the text in the web link as well as copy it and click Close.
Open your Facebook web page as well as paste the web link into a status update (do not hit Post yet).
The long URL has a great deal babble in it so go ahead as well as delete it by highlighting the web link as well as striking the remove secret. Next tailor the generic link title by hovering over the Shared Data-- Acrobat.com message up until it highlights in yellow and afterwards click it to transform it to something much more purposeful.
