How to Publish PDFs Online?

Published March 11, 2024 by Paulina Kubala-Chuchnowska

When in 1993 Adobe Systems introduced the PDF (Portable Document Format) to the world, they probably didn’t even imagine the size of a revolutionary they started. By improving the process of creating, sharing, and accessing digital documents, they made online publishing both easy and efficient on a previously unknown scale. It would be a pity not to take advantage of this opportunity, wouldn’t it?

Is there anyone who remembers sharing documents before PDFs time? The days of floppy disks and dot-matrix printers, when everything was a cumbersome process that involved printing papers out and physically handing them over to someone.

I wonder what Generation Z would say about this process since even to Millennials it sounds so… ancient.

The truth is, thirty years later, PDF remains the most popular format worldwide for publishing almost every type of online document and publication, including digital magazines and e-books.

One great optimized web-based kiosk is enough to open up endless possibilities in terms of online reach.

It is all about how many people have access to – or are exposed to – your publications. In this context, the differences between the capabilities of traditional and digital publishing models are huge, both in terms of the possibilities of increasing the reach and the ways of measuring it.

Taking these two aspects into account, web-based kiosks win, and you will see why in a moment.
