How to Share PDFs Without Login or Signup (No Software Needed)
Collaborating on PDFs shouldn’t require extra logins or complicated workflows.
But for many teams—especially in AEC, eLearning, and design—getting feedback means chasing people through clunky systems or long email threads.
With zipBoard, you can share any PDF for review—no login, no install, no friction.
Effortless Guest Review with zipBoard
zipBoard eliminates this hassle by allowing seamless PDF sharing without requiring recipients to log in. Users can share a secure link with external reviewers, enabling them to view and comment on PDFs directly. This feature ensures a frictionless experience while maintaining control over access and feedback.
Why This Feature Matters
Based on feedback from project managers, designers, and teams across industries, zipBoard developed this solution to remove unnecessary roadblocks in collaboration. By enabling guest review, we empower teams to collect feedback faster and keep projects moving without bottlenecks.
