PDF to Link

Overview

PDF to Link is a web app that converts PDF files into online reading pages with a flip effect and provides reader behavior analytics. After uploading a PDF (up to 50 MB), the system generates a unique share link or QR code. The reading page adapts to desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, supporting page flipping, zooming, and more. The PDF itself is not converted into HTML; it is displayed through a web-based reader. **Key capabilities include:** - **Reading analytics**: Provides metrics such as view count, visitor count, average active time, and the percentage of readers who reach the last page. Supports viewing traffic trends over time, read-depth curves, page-by-page heatmaps, reader geographic distribution, and exit page statistics. - **Access control**: Set a password for published PDFs so readers must enter it before opening the document. - **Brand customization**: Upload a logo and favicon, choose a page background color, and set a destination URL for the logo. - **Interactive elements**: Add social media links and CTA (call-to-action) buttons to the reading page, with click counts tracked. - **Other options**: Supports page-flip sound effects and a single-page layout for mobile. **How it works:** 1. Select the PDF file you want to share. 2. Verify your email (if required) and complete the upload; the system automatically creates the reading page. 3. Copy the link or QR code to share it, and manage access permissions, branding, and analytics in the dashboard. This tool is ideal for individuals or teams who need to share a PDF as a standalone web page while understanding how readers interact with the document.
