Why this workflow matters
Social platforms are built for links, not PDF attachments. A hosted PDF turns the document into something you can place in a bio, post, DM, or profile.
This is useful for creators, agencies, restaurants, coaches, and small businesses that need PDFs to open cleanly, stay easy to share, and provide better follow-up signals than a normal attachment.
