How do I load a PDF on FB secret page (or any page)? (14 posts)

  • Hi,  I have tried to load a PDF and it says it is too large (or small but that won’t be the case). So then I went to Scribd but it seems to load with stuff around the page and I’m just not sure about it.Any ideas?

  • I used Scribd to upload a powerpoint on my page here:  http://www.facebook.com/GetTheBook/app_182667455607  Not sure what you mean by stuff around the page – do you have an example?  

  • Thank you for the question Anita and thanks for the Answer Adrea.  I haven’t used Scribd before but have always been puzzled that I couldn’t upload anything but a photo to Fb.  I will get busy now and check out how Scridb works.  Appreciated.

  • Thanks Andrea, I went to your site but couldn’t see the powerpoint you meant (but then it is early here and I only had a quick look).  If you think this site is Ok I will try again. Can I post to my secret page?  It seems to only let me go to may main page.Another thing I was uncertain about is it didn’t seem to let me share to FB unless I had it as a public document – which I don’t really want if I can avoid it.  When I ticked ‘private’ the ‘share’ button went away.

    I have really developed a love of FB but there seems to be a number of limitations to functions that is says it has – such as loading of documents, videos etc.  I have also worked out how to sotp people sharing and tagging photos but I would really like it if they got rid of the ‘download’ button.  I know nothing is ever completely secure but we don’t need to make it that easy really do we????

    I am in the process of getting the secret page set up for my parents (i’m a pre-school) to access photos and given that group emailing seems to cause difficulty now adays unless u pay for a service from the telco I thought this might work for newsletters too.

  • @anitaendersby I’ve almost finished creating an app that has password protected page , would that help?

  • Well if it stops the download facility of photos it would. What would be the difference between that and a secret page given that only people I authorise can be on the secret page anyway?

    I think the secret page is already pretty secure from the perspective that I have it set that only friends can post, only group members can see each other, photos etc can not be shared or tagged and no one can find the page on a search.

    I would be interested to know what difference tha app would make though.

  • I just went back and looked at your page again and found your PP on scribd.  It looks really good!  I will try mine again.

  • Thanks this was very helpful!! :)

  • OK!!!  I am obviously doing something wrong.  I just tried sending a link to my email to see what what comes up – it has all that sill y flashy advertising around it.

    I actually opens the my page on Scribd with my account detail etc.

    I don’t get it.  I am going to wait to see if you guys have any ideas otherwise I am going to close it all down.

  • @anitaendersby I’ll put the app up early next week, after easter and you can have a play with it.  All you’ll need is the embed code.


  • Thanks @vincentedwards, I look forward to seeing your idea.
