How to share a PDF with a link

The easiest way to send PDFs without email attachments.

Email attachments are annoying. They get lost, blocked by spam filters, or hit size limits. Here's a better way to share PDFs.

The problem with email attachments

  • Size limits – Most email providers cap at 25MB
  • Version confusion – "Which version did I send?"
  • Security filters – Attachments often get blocked
  • No tracking – Did they even open it?

The solution: Share a link instead

Instead of attaching a PDF, host it and share a link. Benefits:

  • No size limits – Share any file size
  • Always current – Update the file, same link
  • Works everywhere – Links work in any app
  • Trackable – See who views your file

How to share a PDF with bopbee

Step 1: Upload your PDF

Drag your PDF file onto bopbee. That's it.

Step 2: Copy your link

You'll get a link like resume.bopbee.com. Copy it.

Step 3: Share anywhere

Paste the link in:

  • Emails
  • LinkedIn messages
  • Job applications
  • Slack or Discord
  • Anywhere else

Recipients click the link and view your PDF in their browser—no download required.

Use cases

Resumes

Instead of attaching your resume, include a link:

"You can view my resume at resume.yourname.bopbee.com"

Benefits:

  • Always shows your latest version
  • Works even if their email blocks attachments
  • Looks more professional

Presentations

Share your slide deck before or after a meeting:

"Here are the slides we discussed: slides.yourname.bopbee.com"

Contracts and documents

Share legal documents or forms without email size limits.

Portfolios

Designers often have PDF portfolios. Share them instantly:

"My portfolio: portfolio.yourname.bopbee.com"

Pro tips

  1. Use descriptive names – "resume-2024" is better than "document"
  2. Update in place – Re-upload to the same project to update
  3. Add password protection – For sensitive documents
  4. Track views – See when and where your PDF was accessed

Embed PDFs in your website:

<iframe 
  src="https://resume.bopbee.com/resume.pdf"
  width="100%" 
  height="600"
  title="My Resume"
></iframe>

Beyond PDFs

The same approach works for any file type:

  • Word documents
  • Spreadsheets
  • Images
  • ZIP archives
