How To Post PDF Acrobat Files on SmugMug

Cammo

Hi,

I was hoping to include Adobe Acrobat files in a 'tearsheets' gallery. Could someone help me with the best option for including these on my site? I realise that I will most likely have to convert to jpg or similar but I am not sure of the best way to do this?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Cammo - make a screen grab, for each PDF - or use a representative photo. Then force a journal gallery, and just link the document in html in the caption. Use a free service to store the REAL pdf.

I use pages.google.com for mine. Here's an example. http://andydemo.smugmug.com/gallery/1587996

The html:

<a href="http://awilliamsny.googlepages.com/SmugMug.pdf">Here is my sample PDF</a>.

I show it in a description, but it can be in the caption, too.

Uploading is not a good option, it doesn't always work (not a fully supported file-type on SmugMug) and it'd be converted to JPG anyhow.

Hope this helps!

For a live example, I do this for some of the articles ive written..

I use my own private server to host the PDFs, but they can come from anywhere.
