On a regular basis I see questions regarding just how to upload or share PDF files on Facebook. Currently, Facebook does not support direct uploading of PDF data, yet they do support linking to existing content. So, using this technique you can share all your PDF content-- from annual reports to types.
Connecting to existing web content requires that your PDF file stays somewhere that is publicly obtainable-- like Dropbox or Google Drive. Since I do so much operate in Acrobat, I'm mosting likely to utilize the Acrobat.com cloud service, which is directly integrated with Acrobat and Adobe Reader. This cloud-based service is especially helpful because your PDF documents can be accessed from any kind of computer or mobile phone, which is ideal for Facebook. If you do not have Acrobat or Viewers installed on your system, you can likewise produce your very own free account on Acrobat.com as well as accessibility it using your internet browser.
First, I'll post my PDF data to Acrobat.com. You can either do this by directing your web browser to files.acrobat.com as well as finalizing in. Or, from within Acrobat or Viewers by clicking the cloud icon in the toolbar, which will certainly post your PDF file to Acrobat.com. I'll use the cloud symbol from within Acrobat.
Next, open your internet browser and browse to files.acrobat.com as well as check in if you haven't already. Examine the box alongside your PDF file and click the Send out File icon.
Under Send To inspect the general public Link box and click the Produce Link switch.
As soon as the general public link is generated choose the text in the link and copy it and click Close.
Open your Facebook page and paste the web link into a standing upgrade (do not hit Post yet).
The lengthy LINK has a great deal babble in it so proceed as well as delete it by highlighting the web link and striking the remove key. Following customize the generic web link title by hovering over the Shared Files-- Acrobat.com message up until it highlights in yellow and afterwards click it to change it to something much more meaningful.
