Preliminary information
Before getting to the heart of this tutorial and explain yourself in detail how to upload a PDF to Facebook, it is necessary to make a necessary introduction regarding the upload options available on the famous social network.
You must know, in fact, that on Facebook it is possible to upload videos, share photos and publish links both on your profile and on pages and groups, without limitations relating to the device used. As for the uploading of other files, including PDFs, there are some limitations: it is only allowed to do so on Facebook groups, both public and private, and exclusively from a computer.
Uploading can be done by all users enrolled in the group, as long as the PDF file to upload is smaller than 100 MB. Furthermore, I point out that it is possible to send a PDF to other users also via private message.
That said, I invite you to do not upload copyrighted PDFs and / or for which the author has not granted you permission to publish. I would like to clarify that this tutorial was written for illustrative purposes only and I do not take any responsibility for the use you will make of the information contained in it. Is everything clear so far? Well then let's take action!
