A portable document format (PDF) file is an
effective way to share information because it is
viewable in most operating systems; coupled
with the social networking capabilities of
Facebook, a PDF can reach a much larger
audience. Whether you want to display a
document that is related to your page's focus, or
you want to promote an event that your friends
would enjoy, you can upload your own PDF file to
your Facebook page using the tools in your
Facebook account.
>> Instructions
1
Place your PDF file on a Web host to make
it viewable on the Web. Check with your
Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see if
the company offers free hosting space, or
use an online resource like
FreePDFHosting or KeepandShare. Follow
the provider's specific instructions for
adding your document to the server and
then record the location of the PDF so
that you can properly link it. For example,
a URL address for a PDF might look as
follows:
http://www.webhost.com/documents/
file.pdf
2
Log in to your Facebook account and then
choose the area, such as "News Feed" or
"Wall," where you want to upload the PDF
file.
3
Click the "Link" icon underneath the text
field and enter the address of your PDF
from Step 1. Click the "Attach" button
when done.
4
Type in an accompanying message in the
text field above and click the "Share"
button. Your PDF file now appears as a
link and allows a visitor to view your file
when she clicks on it.
