Why this workflow matters
A portfolio PDF needs to look professional from the first click. A hosted link is easier to send in proposals, bios, applications, and outreach.
This is useful for designers, photographers, architects, writers, and freelancers that need PDFs to open cleanly, stay easy to share, and provide better follow-up signals than a normal attachment.
