Why this workflow matters
Storage-folder links are useful internally but often feel clumsy for public or client-facing PDFs. A dedicated PDF page is cleaner for readers.
This is useful for client-facing teams, creators, agencies, and consultants that need PDFs to open cleanly, stay easy to share, and provide better follow-up signals than a normal attachment.
