How do you link to a PDF file?
It is simple to connect to a PDF file. Drag and drop the PDF, click "Launch," and a link will be generated immediately. Static.app will upload your PDF online and display it in a PDF viewer that is cross-browser compatible. Additionally, you can choose your own name for the link you wish to share.
Can PDFs be hosted on my domain?
By default your PDF is hosted on a free Static.app subdomain with SSL. On a paid plan, from $6 a month, you can serve it from your own custom domain, so the link preserves your brand and visitors are more likely to trust and open it. Connecting a domain is a simple DNS step in your Static.app account.
Where do PDF documents reside?
We use an industry-standard platform and secure all data transmissions with SSL from end-to-end. This indicates that your data is stored in a secure area that is only accessible to users who have the connection.
Is compatibility with all devices guaranteed?
Yes. After uploading a PDF, it can be viewed on any device. Your file is presented via a PDF viewer that is compatible with multiple browsers and mobile devices. This means that it is viewable on any device (mobile, laptop, or tablet) and web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Internet Explorer, etc.).
What are the steps to upload a PDF document?
First, ensure you are logged in to the Static.app account. Navigate to the dashboard and click the "Add Site" button.

Is there an option to host a PDF online for free?

Can I share my uploaded PDF documents with others?
Yes. After uploading your document, you can directly share the unique URL of your PDF with others, and use the platform's options to copy the link or turn it into a QR code.
How can I ensure the security of my PDF documents?
Every PDF is served over HTTPS with SSL, so the connection is encrypted in transit, and your files are stored on secure, industry-standard infrastructure. You stay in control and can replace or delete a hosted PDF at any time from your dashboard.
How do I manage or organize my PDF files?
You manage your PDFs from your Static.app dashboard, where you can upload new files, replace an existing PDF while keeping the same link, and delete anything you no longer need.
