Share a PDF
everypage_share_pdfUpload a PDF and get a tracked share link, embeddable iframe, and QR code. Apply passcode, expiry, or download limits, then monitor who reads it.
Instructions
Upload a PDF to EveryPage and get back a tracked share link, an embeddable iframe, and a QR code URL. Give either path (a PDF on this machine) or url (an https link to a PDF). Share settings such as a passcode, expiry or download permission can be applied in the same call. Every read of the resulting link is tracked - use everypage_get_readership afterwards to see who read it.
