I was asked to add an IBM MQ page to the blog. It has been added to the IBM Materials area on the right side of the main page.
PDF to Link
August 18, 2025
There is a new link on the IBM i Reference Pages Blog on the "Other Sites of Interest" page. It is called "PDF to Link". The page can be found here.
It is free to use. It solves the problem of sending a PDF anywhere. Sometimes sending a PDF can be a headache. This could solve that problem.
The site states:
"Instantly transform your PDF documents into shareable links and QR codes.
Upload once, share everywhere - via email, social media, or any platform."
Note: It’s free for up to three shares every two days with PDFs up to 3MB in size.
PDF to Link doesn’t require any personal info or sign-ins, and doesn’t include anything especially eyebrow-raising.
Shout out to my friend JR Raphael at the Android Intelligencer for this beauty!
