The 7 Best Tools to Present & Share Your PDF Files Online

The 7 Best Tools to Present & Share Your PDF Files Online | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Many websites now offer the facility of being able to host PDF files for easy viewing. The PDF file remains open inside a widget and you can scroll up and down while you read. From the latest Supreme Court rulings to a recipe for chocolate cake, you are likely to find all kinds of PDF’s hosted there.

These kinds of tools are also used to show leaked documents. Famous examples include an early draft of Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight“, and 7,000 of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Other tools enable you to easily convert to PDF. For example, if you have a PowerPoint presentation, you can export it to PDF, end up with better looking slides, and avoid the dreaded “Death By Powerpoint”.

Create free presentations without PowerPoint - CNET | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

That said, PowerPoint isn't exactly free, and I suspect most seasoned users would agree it hasn't evolved much over the years. What if you want to integrate, say, a live Twitter feed in your presentation, or move beyond static slides?


Good news: There are plenty of PowerPoint alternatives, some of them free, some of them capable of adding considerably more pizzazz to your materials. In addition to the obvious PowerPoint clones -- Google Docs, OpenOffice Impress, Zoho Show and so on -- make sure to check out these three free outliers...
