I am creating a pdf (exported from Indesign) that will be offered online as a free ebook. I want to give readers a way to share the pdf on social media - whether it be facebook, twitter, etc. Is there a way to create this feature with Acrobat or Indesign?

I found this potential work around, but it doesn't seem to work:

Thank you!

Usually, these sites don't allow you to share PDF files. The way to do it is to upload the file to a file-sharing website (like Google Drive or Dropbox) or to your own website (if you have one), generate a public link and then post that link to your social media account.

Thanks, but what I want is to make it possible to have people share the PDF on their own social media sites. I don't want to send people to my social media. That would be easy to achieve with a simple hyperlink.

The same link can be used anywhere.
