How To Share A PDF On A Facebook Business Page

Want to share a document on your Facebook without knowing how to hit you differently, especially when it’s important for your business?

Businesses thrive more with different content, including PDFs, which is also a way of passing out important information to your target audience.

Knowing how to upload various content can help a lot, and that’s why we will look into how to share a PDF on a Facebook business page.

If this is something you are interested in learning, read on.

How To Share A PDF On A Facebook Business Page

Note – you can’t post a PDF to a personal Facebook page; only a business page. But you can drop a link to the PDF if it’s on your page.

The Facebook business page treats a PDF like a MENU. While this might be favourable for certain businesses, it may not be so for others. In this case, we recommend making it very clear on the first page of your PDF that what you’re sharing isn’t a menu.

Step-By-Step Process 

1. Switch to Business Mode: Using your mobile, sign in on your Facebook home page. Go to your Business page ( or create one if you do not have one; register as a restaurant)
2. Add Menu: Scroll down your page until you find the Add Menu option. This will upload your PDF. Remember – Facebook will treat it as a menu, even if that’s not what it is.
3. Choose your files: Facebook will allow you to upload photos or PDFs. Choose the PDF option and select the file you want to share.
4. Add A Description: You can add a short sentence about each page if you upload multiple docs. Don’t forget to click Confirm. Your PDF will then be accessible under Menu on your business page.

Guidelines For Sharing A Menu PDF On Facebook

Here are a few things to look out for when you upload a menu PDF to Facebook. This is because after you post a PDF of your menu to Facebook, Facebook will review it to ensure it complies with their guidelines. If not, they might contact you about changes to make or remove it. To avoid this, your menu must:

• It should be up to 1 MB in size, and if your PDF file is too large, you can shrink it by converting it to black and white format.
• Have readable items
• Contains multiple items on each page
• Include multiple items listed with a text title for each one.
