Why this workflow matters
Many PDF readers arrive from phones. A hosted PDF page helps them open the document without hunting through file apps or email attachments.
This is useful for restaurants, event teams, creators, schools, and service businesses that need PDFs to open cleanly, stay easy to share, and provide better follow-up signals than a normal attachment.
