For The Love Of Port

Does anyone know of a good site that I could use to host the PDF files of this past weekend's placemats?

I have a Photobucket account, but they only allow image files. I even tried tricking them by changing the extension, but they actually open the files to generate a preview and in doing so reject the re-named files as invalid formats.

The 5 files aren't huge - between 400k and 800k each - but the public hosting sites don't seem to accept PDFs.

I'd think Roy or one of the people running FTLOP should be able to put them up in the downloads section:

It would be nice to have a new category/folder up there. For that matter, I was thinking the same thing about the PORTraits section. We should have a folder just for the 1st annual gathering.

Sorry I can't help. I had a domain, but my ISP is getting out of the hosting business this week.

Take the whole PDF and select all & copy it. Paste it into mspaint and save it as a jpg. Photobucket will now upload it. Changing an extension will never work.

These are 33-page PDF files, some of which are half 11x17 and half 8.5x11, and while I could certainly do what you suggest my guess is that the resulting jpg file would be larger (and far more unwieldy) than the original PDF.

I routinely fool Outlook by changing file extensions. Obviously you have to change them back to use the file, but that's often a good way to get around file type limits.

I think I found a solution! I forgot that I have a Comcast.net "Personal Web Page" and that I can upload pretty much anything I want to that page. (I never use it, so it's easy to forget that it exists.) It's really slow, but it should work for this purpose. I'll give that a try and see what happens...
