Sharing a file on Twitter via a URL

RoboColum(n) Dec 30, 2009 3:13 AM

I want to be able to share one of my PDFs with my Twitter followers. Adobe Senior Product Evangelist RJ Jacquez shows how to do this on his webinar on the subject. However when I try to do the same I get a different interface and am unable to find a "Copy URL" field with which I can cut/paste the URL into my tweet. When I share a document I get the dialog shown below:

This is OK but the copy link just copies a link to the PDF in my Acrobat.com session requiring users to logon to receive it. Itdoes not provide me with a URL that allows ANY user to access it without loggin on.

Is this down to the version I am using? I have the free trial - I am UK based and therefore unable to upgrade

Sorry I should have added that I am using the Adobe Air app for acrobat.com.

Hello,

Thank you for your post, and sorry for the confusion. You need to check the "allow anybody" checkbox and hit "ok" to make it stick. In this case, since the "specific users" checkbox is checked and there are no specifically named users, the "ok" button is disabled. Please uncheck the "specific users" checkbox.

We'll probably update the UI to enable the "ok" in this scenario, as it's obviously a problem. Again, sorry for the confusion.

Kind Regards,

Michelle

That's done it Michelle. Thanks a million. I agree that the UI needs a slight tweek so if this can be done that would make it more intuitive.
