It would be GREAT if HubSpot's social scheduling tool would allow you to post PDFs on LinkedIn rather than just a link to the PDF. The new format for LinkedIn PDFs is fantastic, but the only way to use the new format is to post directly to LinkedIn, foregoing HubSpot analytics.
I would like to have the possibility of attaching PDFs documents to the Social Media posts. In the same way it is possible to attach a photo or a video. The idea is attaching the PDF document directly to the post (Not by links).
Like this, as a Content Generator I can preset post including this kind of documents and make my work faster. At certain hours I cannot publish this post and this is a problem for me because I delay my work.
With this feature Content Generators in Social Media could preset all their documents. Therefore, make our work faster and on time.
I also like to upvote this idea about HubSpot adding the new PDF upload function for social posts, just like LinkedIn does.
LinkedIn's PDF upload function allows users to add a document title, text, and hashtags for improving visibility in search results. Currently, if I want to have aforementioned PDF upload benefits, I need to post directly through LinkedIn and I will lose some metric data like the number of clicks in analytic reports because the post is published outside HubSpot.
I second this - for B2B marketing, PDFs on LinkedIn are essential since image quality of PNGs and JPGs on LinkedIn is lacking. Also, PDFs support a multi-page layout. Would be great if these could be posted directly out of HubSpot's Social Media planner in the future - this would save a lot of time!
I agree! PDFs are crucial to the B2B marketing strategy -- case studies, white papers, articles, etc are so important. Even blog posts get better traction when posted as a PDF rather than a link to a page. Seems like a no-brainer to me!
This is really needed as pdfs do so well on LinkedIn - not being able to post them through Hubspot limits us in using the social scheduling and campaigns!
I upvote this! We want to start posting more documents to take advantage of this great LinkedIn feature, but without being able to post via HubSpot, we have to take into account the analytics separately, though we currently pull monthly analytics from hubspot, so it will make things complicated until the feature is available.
Yes please for scheduling PDFs for LinkedIn. Seeing at HubSpot share PDFs all the time, I'm confused as to why this isn't something their own tool provides.
I agree with this, Hubspot should match LinkedIn's capabilities for posting. I am having to post directly in LinkedIn for this type of post, it's time consuming and I can't track my metrics on it.
This post is nearly 2 years old now - could Hubspot let us know if this is in their plans?
Echoing what everyone has said here, would love this feature!
We recently just got Hubspot and I use PDFs in our Linkedin posts, as they tend to be where we see the best engagement. So it is a shame that you can't do the same with the social scheduling tool, as they have now become such a heavily used medium.
