How do you usually share your PDFs with your clients, partners, or colleagues? You most likely email them an attachment or a web link if it lives online. Perhaps you message them the link on Skype or Slack.
More often than not a PDF is being shared in conjunction with other files and links. You’ve likely either sent or received an email or a message with various types of digital content that you’re now supposed to read the email directions and then follow them.
You have to read a bullet point go to the PDF your audience is referring to, go to the next bullet point and review the other PDF, and so forth. By the time you’re ready to email back you most likely forgot points 1, 2, and 3 you were going to make! Agh!
