EmbedFox documentation
Quickstart: publish a public document
Publish one public PDF, then share a reader link or add the reader to a page on your website.
Upload a document1. Upload a public document.
Choose a valid PDF up to 25 MB. EmbedFox validates the upload before it creates the reader.
2. Share the reader.
Open the reader URL when you need a direct destination. Readers can navigate, search PDF text, zoom, use fullscreen and share a link to a specific page.
3. Add it to your website.
Copy the versioned embed snippet from the completion page and place it on the page where the document belongs. The reader remains on your website instead of leading visitors to a public directory.
Public boundary. The public upload is for material you can publish openly. It expires after seven days and is not private document storage.
Questions this page answers.
Short answers to what publishers ask about this part of EmbedFox.
- Do I need an account to publish?
- No. A public upload works without one and gives you a reader URL and an embed snippet straight away. It expires after seven days; signing in and claiming the document keeps it beyond that.
- What can I upload?
- A PDF up to 25 MB. EmbedFox checks the declared type, the %PDF- signature and the size before it publishes anything.
- Can I take a document down?
- Yes. The person who uploaded it can remove it from the completion page while their browser session is open, and a claimed document can be removed from the dashboard at any time.
- Where does the reader live?
- On pub.embedfox.com for the shared link, and inside an iframe on your own page when you use the embed snippet. Nothing sends the visitor to a public directory of other people鈥檚 documents.
