How do I add a PDF to my EventCreate website?

You can share a PDF on your EventCreate website in two ways — either by linking directly to the PDF file or by converting it to an image (JPEG) and uploading it to your site.

Upload your PDF to a file-sharing service like Dropbox, Google Drive, Scribd, or OneDrive, then add a shareable hyperlink to your EventCreate site so attendees can access it.

How to Add a PDF to Your Event Website

If you want to share a PDF or other file on your EventCreate event website, we recommend using a hyperlink or button to link to your document. This works best when the file is stored on a file-sharing service such as:

  • Dropbox

  • Google Drive

  • Scribd

  • OneDrive

  • Or any other similar service


Steps to Add Your PDF Link

  1. Upload your PDF to your preferred file-sharing service.

  2. Copy the shareable link for your file.

  3. Add the link to your EventCreate website wherever you want attendees to access it.

Tip

Make sure your file’s sharing permissions are set so that anyone with the link can view or download it, otherwise your attendees won’t be able to access it.


Alternative Option: Convert PDF to Image

If you’d prefer to display your PDF directly on your site as an image, you can convert your PDF to a JPEG file.

You can use this free third-party tool: PDF to JPG Converter

Once converted, simply upload the image to your EventCreate site as you would with any other image.

Tip:

Images generally load faster than linked PDFs and are easier for guests to view on mobile devices.


Another option is to add a link or button to your PDF and place it on an additional website page on your event site. You can then share that page with guests by email, and you also have the option to password-protect it if needed.

Option 1: Use an Additional Form

This works well if you want:

  • A separate link to share

  • A clean URL to email to guests

Step 1: Create an additional form

Step 2: Get your form URL

Your additional form will have its own public URL.
You can edit or copy it it by going to:
Setup → Website → URL

You can share this URL:

  • Directly in an email

  • Or add it to your event website as a link or button

Step 3: Add it to your emails

You can include the form link in any email template:

  1. Go to Share & Tools → Emails / Invites

  2. Click the Templates tab

  3. Add the form URL to a button or text link


Option 2: Add the PDF to its own website page

You can also place your PDF on a dedicated page within your EventCreate website.

Step 1: Create a new web page

Add a link or button on that page that opens your PDF.

Step 2: Control who can access it

When building your site, you can control visibility:

Go to: Setup → Website → Privacy

From here you can:

  • Set your site to Private, so only people with the link can access it

  • Or require a password by enabling:
    Setup → Website → Privacy → Event Page Password

This is ideal for:

  • Private schedules

  • VIP documents

  • Speaker notes

  • Post-event files
