Need to put PDFs in one to get URL I am searching for a website builder to use that is economic (cheap) and easy to use. I would like to drop each of my PDF's onto a separate page and then link each page to my app. This is for my android project. I could use Smugs Android PDF uploader except some (nearly30%) are bordering on or over his specified usage MB wise. The 'free' ones on Google so far have come up negative as there are glitches in the one page one URL problem.

Even more free would be to use tumblr, weebly, blogger and similar sites to have a site and then in separate pages put links to your PDF files in Box, DropBox etc. Or I might be completely misunderstanding what you asked? >The 'free' ones on Google so far have come up negative as there are glitches in the one page one URL problem.

richardemery839 Aspiring developer Posts: 258 Reg: May 15, 2013 Bangkok 9,480	07/15/14 02:26 AM (10 years ago) Thanks for all your advice guys. So far I have tried dropbox and the PDF won't link. But before I go further. In IOS, in the simulator, when you tap a menu button to a PDF the page transitions to the PDF. My emulator (and a friends phone the other day) the transition goes to a white screen with a bar at the top saying open document. Surely this can't be right? Now I have tried to link to a URL it brings up the same white screen only now there are two boxes. One saying open document and the other saying refresh from URL. As I say the dropbox link is not working. As per Susan's idea I will try the BT file manager (if I can find it). Comments Thanks for all your advice guys.

xparte Aspiring developer Posts: 50 Reg: May 08, 2012 location unknow... 2,450	07/15/14 03:02 AM (10 years ago) Does the PDF load if you paste the link into a browser? We probably need to work out first if it's a problem with the uploading of the file or the linking of the file that's causing the error.

richardemery839 Aspiring developer Posts: 258 Reg: May 15, 2013 Bangkok 9,480	07/15/14 03:26 AM (10 years ago) Yes it does. I am using another test app trying to get this to work on Android. It's just a simple menu with one tap to PDF. I created a new emulator and tried a new named PDF. Comments Yes it does. I am using another test app trying to get this to work on Android.
