How to get a pdf file to download autom

Last week I talked about how to make a Dropbox file/link auto-download and I had SO many questions about making a Google Drive file do the same thing, so I thought I&#;d just post about that today!

>Follow these steps:Copy your shareable link either from the desktop version or on the www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar version

1. So, in this example, my sharing link is www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar?usp=sharing
   • Take note of the &#;file ID&#; that directly follows the part of the link that reads &#;file/d/&#;. In this example it is: 1AUt3lcnOpDAqMpBoq4k7bMOAH7negz6PWLc_MKgIqvI
   • Determine what type of file you’re sharing (is it a doc, PDF, JPG, spreadsheet, presentation, etc) and use the chart below to determine which link you need to use as a template:
     

   Doc (.docx, etc)	www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar?format=doc
   PDF (You can also use this link to turn a DOC file into a PDF on download)	www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar?format=pdf
   Spreadsheet Will download as a spreadsheet	www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar?format=xlsx
   Spreadsheet that will download as a PDF	www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar?format=pdf
   Presentation Will download as a presentation	www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar
   Presentation Will download as a PDF	www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar

• Replace the very end piece of the link above that reads &#;FILE_ID&#; with the FILE ID you copied in step #www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar link will now look like (using the doc example link):  
  
  www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar1AUt3lcnOpDAqMpBoq4k7bMOAH7negz6PWLc_MKgIqvI/export?format=doc
  
  YOU&#;RE DONE!
  
  Whoever clicks that link will have the file it links to auto-download to their computer/desktop/etc.
  

When will this come in handy? When delivering files to your audience or clients! One way that I used ALL THE TIME is that I use this (well, the Dropbox version) to deliver freebies to the people who opt-in to my list.

Learn how!
