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!

Ok,, so on the adobe export there is an option for export to HTML web page. which I did. so I assumed that was a valid URL. But when I tried to inout that file into Linkedin (it was an article) they said invalid URL. So I am confused. It is a stand alone article, not linked to my web page or anything. Perhaps there was so mething I needed to add to the address line? like www or http::?

An HTML web-page is just a file on your local computer. Unless it's hosted on a web-server it doesn't have a URL.
