Why this workflow matters
Documents change, but old links often stay in emails, QR codes, and websites. A hosted workflow helps you keep one destination in circulation.
This is useful for support teams, restaurants, schools, product teams, and agencies that need PDFs to open cleanly, stay easy to share, and provide better follow-up signals than a normal attachment.
