Social Media Sharing of PDF

[nsiegel2999]

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.

You won't be sharing your own "social media sites" by using this process. You are sharing the link to the PDF file, it won't go anywhere else, just bring up that file.....
