Sending documents from your own domain.
A branded link changes how a document is received, particularly by people who were not expecting it.
Unfamiliar domains get treated as suspicious
People have been trained to be wary of links, and rightly so. A link on a domain the recipient recognises clears that hurdle before they have thought about it; a link on a domain they have never seen invites hesitation, especially in corporate environments.
The effect is largest for cold outreach and first contact, where the reader has no relationship with you to fall back on. For documents sent inside an existing conversation it matters less.
Where a branded link shows up
The domain travels with the document everywhere it goes: in the address bar, in link previews on chat and social platforms, when the URL is pasted into a message, and under any QR code printed from it.
That makes it most worthwhile for documents that get forwarded or published — catalogues, public price lists, portfolios, anything linked from your own website.
What setup involves
You point a subdomain at SharePDF with a DNS record — usually something like docs.yourcompany.com rather than the root domain, which you will want to keep for your website. HTTPS is provisioned automatically once the record resolves.
DNS changes are not instant; allow for propagation before assuming something has gone wrong. A subdomain also keeps document sharing isolated from your main site, so nothing you do here can affect it.
Deciding whether it is worth it
A custom domain is worth the setup when documents are a regular, outward-facing part of how you work: sales material, client deliverables, published resources. It is not worth it for occasional internal sharing.
One practical caution: once links are published under your domain, changing that domain later breaks them. Choose a subdomain you are content to keep.
Custom domains — common questions.
Short answers for visitors who want to know if this fits their PDF sharing workflow.
Can I use my own domain for PDF links?
Yes. Paid plan users can connect a custom domain for SharePDF links.
Do I need to change DNS settings?
Yes. You will need to add DNS records so SharePDF can verify your domain.
Can I use a subdomain?
Yes. A subdomain like docs.yourbrand.com is a good fit for PDF links.
Is a custom domain available on the Free plan?
No. Custom domains require a paid plan.
Should I use my root domain or a subdomain?
A subdomain such as docs.yourcompany.com. It keeps your main website untouched and isolates document sharing from it.
How long does the domain take to start working?
DNS changes need time to propagate, so allow for that before assuming something is wrong. HTTPS is provisioned automatically once the record resolves.
What happens to my links if I change the domain later?
Links published under the old domain stop working, so pick a subdomain you are happy to keep.
