For website owners and developers

Put PDF2Go on your website

Add one link to your page, and your visitors open your PDF in PDF2Go, ready to edit, sign or convert. It is plain HTML: no account, no key and no script to install.

Copy the code

It is an ordinary link, so it works on any page or in any CMS that accepts HTML.
Point it at your PDF

Replace URL_TO_PDF with the address of your PDF, encoded with encodeURIComponent() in JavaScript or urlencode() in PHP. The file has to be reachable on the public internet.
Paste it into your page

Visitors who click it land in the PDF2Go editor with your PDF loaded. Nobody has to sign up, on your side or on theirs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account or an API key for the link?

No. The link is plain HTML that opens a PDF2Go app with your file in it. Your visitors use the app as if they had opened it themselves: free without an account, with more room for those who sign in or have a plan.

Where does my PDF need to be?

At a public web address. PDF2Go downloads the file from the address in the link, so a PDF behind a login, on an intranet or on your own computer cannot be fetched.

Why does the address have to be encoded?

Your PDF's address sits inside the address of the link. Encoding replaces characters such as ?, & and = with codes, so they stay part of your PDF's address instead of being read as part of the link. In JavaScript encodeURIComponent() does it, in PHP urlencode().

Can the link open an app other than Edit PDF?

Yes. Add ?remote_url= to the address of another app page, for example Compress PDF or PDF to Word. Some apps open the file straight away; others load it and wait for your visitor to press the app's button.

Is there a PDF2Go API?

For conversions in your own code, use the api2convert file conversion API: create a free account there and generate an API key in its dashboard. To connect PDF2Go to other apps without code, use the Zapier or Make integration.
