So you should use the "Get a link" tool:

You can't convert a PDF to a URL. They are two different things.

You can upload a PDF file to a web-server and then generate a URL for accessing it online, though. Is that what you did?

ok,, so it did generate web file. From there I need to (and can?) generate a url? And that would be an accepted url? Is there an easy (and safe) way to do that?

Thanks much!

What do you mean by "web file", exactly? You can generate a URL for a PDF file by simply uploading the latter to a (public) folder on a web-server. The URL will be automatically generated by the server and you could access it through that URL, just like any other file, such as HTML or JPG.

For example, if the root folder of your website (the imaginary www.ns1212.com) is /var/www/www-root/data/www/ns1212.com/ and you place a folder there called "files" and then place "MyFile.pdf" in that folder, the URL for it is: http://www.ns1212.com/files/MyFile.pdf
