How To Share a PDF in 5 Simple Steps

It is always a tricky thing to share PDF files. PDF is a naturally compressed file format, which means it may be small enough to simply send it in an email. However, sometimes PDFs are too big. Luckily it is quite easy to share PDFs and other documents through all of the major online networks. Once you have used PDFSimpli to create your PDF, you can share it directly on one of these sites. This guide will explain to learn how to share PDF quickly and easily.  

How To Share a PDF on Facebook

Let's start with Facebook. While this network is made for personal connections, many businesses use facebook for business purposes. Or, maybe you simply want to share a personal email with a friend or family member. Either way, learning how to share PDF through facebook is simple. However, there is no way to share a PDF to your public account to allow any friend to download it. Instead, you must attach the PDF in a message. If you want to share with multiple people, it is easy to select multiple friends in the address box of the facebook messager. Once you have a blank message to whoever you need to share your PDF with, it is simply a matter of uploading the file. At the bottom of the message, next to the field where you enter your message, there is a series of buttons that can be used to attach things to the message. This includes everything from stickers to video files. The one on the far right is used for files, which can be nearly any format. This includes PDF. You simply need to wait for it to upload and then hit "Send."  

 

How To Share a PDF on Google Drive

Google has gone to great lengths to make it very easy to share PDFs with Google Drive. Once you have uploaded your PDF to your Google Drive, you simply have to click the share button. You will be met with a new window that has many features to help with sharing. There are two ways you can share a PDF this way:

• Through an email
• Through a link

If you want to share through an email, you simply need to enter the email addresses in the window and select how much control the recipient will have to edit the document. If you want to share it through a link, click the "Create shareable link" button in the corner. This will automatically put a link into your clipboard. You can then paste it into any message using "Ctrl + V." This is the easiest way to learn how to share PDF through a link.  

How To Share a PDF on Linkedin

3. Add a title and description to the file
4. Click "Post"

The document will now be available to see by anyone who is connected to you on LinkedIn.
