How to Post A PDF to Facebook? Here’s the Complete Guide

About PDF and Facebook

PDF is a widely used, stable, lightweight, and secure file format. From restaurant menus to business contracts, you can find PDF files everywhere. Facebook is a social networking site that allows users to connect and share with family members, friends, work colleagues, or people they don’t know online.

However, a user from the answers.microsoft.com forum reported that he can’t post PDF to Facebook:

How do I share a PDF on Facebook? There is a share option but it gives me an error message. There doesn't seem to be any way to copy the content so that I can post it. The person I wanted to see the content (I don't have his email address) suggested a screenshot but it is 5 pages and each page is longer than a full screen.https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/all/how-do-i-share-a-pdf-on-facebook/48ecef89-1ec5-4602-8461-e734e30a6f83

Method 1. Via Image

The first way you can post PDF on Facebook is by converting the PDF to image and then posting the converted images on Facebook. To convert PDF to image, I recommend MiniTool PDF Editor.
