Tips for a good result

  • If the PDF got heavy, compress it before hosting (use the Compress PDF tool in WebFaz PDF).
  • Share the link in “anyone with the link” mode.

What this tool does not do

  • WebFaz does not host files: the PDF must be somewhere else.
  • If the link changes or goes offline, the printed code stops working.
