How to share a PDF as a link
Emailing a PDF sends a file people have to download and dig out of their inbox. A link is better: it opens in the browser, works on any device, and you can update it later. Here is the fast way to get one.
Publish your site free →A PDF attachment is easy to lose and awkward on a phone. Sending a link instead means the reader clicks once and the document opens inline, with no download and no app.
boomurl turns a PDF into a real URL in about 20 seconds. Drag the file onto the page, pick a name, and confirm a one-time 6-digit code sent to your email. Your PDF is live over HTTPS at your-name.boomurl.me with no account and no software.
