# The professional way to turn a PDF into a link

Drop a document in. You get an address you can send anyone, a QR code, and a record of who opened it.

-   Free account, no password to choose
-   QR code with every link
-   Opens in the browser, nothing to download

## Everything a professional needs a shared PDF to do

All of it is on every plan, free included. Plans differ only by how much you can put in them.

### Sending

#### One link for the whole project

Proposal, estimate and timeline behind a single address. Add the revised cover next week without sending anything again.

#### Replace the file, keep the address

The client is holding a link from last month. Upload v4 and that link now opens v4 — nothing to resend, nothing to explain.

#### A QR code with every link

Printed on the board, the table or the packaging. Change what it opens as often as you like; the print run stays valid.

#### Your name on the document, not ours

The viewer carries your name, company, logo and contact details. On paid plans the PDFLink mark is gone entirely.

### Control

#### Password on the link

Set it after you have sent it, change it when someone leaves, remove it when the deal closes.

#### Access that expires when you say

One hour, 24 hours, a week, or never. Pricing that should not outlive the quarter, pre-release work that should not outlive the launch.

#### Retire it the moment you need to

The link stops working for everyone holding it, including the person you sent it to. The address is never reissued.

#### Downloading off

Read in the browser, not filed in an inbox. A deterrent rather than a lock, and we say so.

#### Ask for an email first

The reader identifies themselves before the document opens. You learn who it was forwarded to inside the client, not just that it was.

#### The reader's own email across the page

Nothing stops a screenshot. A page with somebody’s name on it is much less likely to be passed on.

### What happened next

#### Whether it was opened, before you follow up

Every view with its time, and whether it came from the link or a scan. You stop guessing whether the proposal was read.

#### How far they got

Which pages were reached, so you know they stopped at the price and can say something useful about it.

#### Comments pinned to the page

The client writes on page four instead of describing page four. No account, no software, no round trip.

#### A timeline of everything

Uploaded, opened, commented, replaced, retired — in order, with who did it. Useful when somebody asks what they were sent.

### Working like a business

#### Every version kept

Round three exists after round four ships, and last round’s notes stay attached to last round. Put an old one back with one click.

#### Your whole team

Up to ten seats. One set of links, one client list, and the work does not sit in one person’s account.

#### Addresses that read properly

yourstudio/northwind/proposal, not a string of characters. Namespaced to you, so nobody else can take the name.

#### Checked before anyone sees it

Every upload is held off the network, verified as a real PDF, scanned for malware, and its links checked against Google Safe Browsing.

## Who sends PDFs this way

The same link does a different job depending on what you put behind it.

### Agencies

Give every client one address for their project and let the whole team add to it. Your name and logo sit beside the document, not ours.

-   Your branding on every document
-   Up to 10 seats
-   One link per client project
-   Comments from the client

### Designers

Send a round of work as one link instead of six attachments. The client comments on the page rather than writing “page 4, the blue one” in an email.

-   Notes pinned to the page
-   Every round kept as a version
-   No account for the client
-   Invoices behind the same link

### Estate agents

Put a QR code on the board, the window card and the brochure. When the price changes you change the file, not the print run.

-   QR code with every link
-   Swap the file, keep the code
-   Scans counted separately
-   See which listings get opened

### Restaurants and cafés

One code on the table, laminated once. Menus change with the season, the specials change daily, and the code on the table keeps working.

-   Print the code once
-   Change the menu any time
-   Opens in the browser, no app
-   Works on every phone

### Sales teams

Know whether the proposal was opened before you follow up, and which page they stopped on. Ask for an email to learn who it was forwarded to.

-   Open tracking with page depth
-   Email gate before opening
-   Expiry dates on old proposals
-   Retire a link the moment a deal dies

### Accountants and advisers

Send statements and reports to a client without putting them in an inbox for ever. Password on the link, and take it back when the engagement ends.

-   Password protection
-   Downloading can be turned off
-   Each reader’s email watermarked
-   A record of who opened what

### Event organisers

Programmes, floor plans and schedules behind one code on the ticket and the signage — corrected on the morning without reprinting anything.

-   Several documents per link
-   Update during the event
-   QR for signage and tickets
-   Unlimited readers on paid plans
