gmercer_48083 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 I have a PDF file that I made, about how to make a hand router that I would like to share. Is there a way to upload it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Tha forum software only allows for .jpg attachments. You can snap a picture of the .pdf and post that. Alternatively you can copy and paste the text from the .pdf, but you'd have to attach (and insert) the photos separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 There are also many pdf programs that allow you to convert a pdf to a jpg, which you could then post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 You can also load the PDF to some other site, and add a link to it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmercer_48083 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Seems kinda silly, I went to a lot of effort combining several file types into a single pdf document (sketchup drawings, photos, and text files) showing how to make a hand router so I could share it. PDF files are a common file used by almost every forum I know of. May be time to re think this. I am also surprised you don't accept Sketchup files (skp) also.

Tpt life Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 This is not about “us guys.” That decision is over our heads. Links are acceptable. Just need to host it off site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs the person that owns the forum money to allow files to be uploaded. Most forums you pay for page views and storage space. The more files, the more you pay. A lot of forums don't even allow you to upload photos to keep cost down. You could put you files in a public Google Drive and share the link if you really want to share them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I've seen about 1 inquiry per year of someone trying to post a PDF or other unsupported filetype. I wouldn't consider it to be a real problem. It's easy enough to host it somewhere else or convert to jpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmercer_48083 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Just surprised... that's all! Oh well I converted to jpg and uploaded 5 files instead of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 I don't see the attachments. Did you imbed them in the post? Never mind, I see it is a separate posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
