Put PDF online - how it works
If you want to make your PDF files accessible to others, you can easily put the PDFs online. There are several ways to do this, but all the options shown here are free. In addition, they all offer almost unlimited space for the documents.
Put PDF online with Adobe Acrobat Reader
The free Adobe Acrobat Reader DC can not only open PDF files, but also put them online:
- Open the PDF with Adobe Acrobat Reader and click on the cloud symbol (see picture).
- The first time you have to create an account with Adobe in which all PDF files are saved. Later, however, the PDFs are uploaded immediately by clicking on the cloud symbol.
- To view and share the document, click Start> Document Cloud in Adobe.
- Here you can see all documents. To make a file accessible to others, click on it, choose "Send"> "Send and track" and then "Create link".
- You will now receive a link through which others can access your PDF file.
Upload PDF file to cloud
- In addition to the Adobe cloud, you can also use another cloud storage. You get a lot of storage space with Google Drive. The 15 GB space is easily enough for more PDF documents than you will ever upload.
- You can find more providers in our cloud comparison.
Send PDF file privately
If you have to send a PDF file to friends, you can also do it via WhatsApp:
- To do this, the PDF file must be on your smartphone. Then open the chat with the friend you want to send the file to.
- Then select the paper clip and tap "Document".
- Now you can select a PDF file and send it.
