I am a newbie.

I would like to build a 1 page landing page where my visitors can download a free playbook in pdf format. This pdf file would be less than 500KB.

Is this permited? If so, how would I do this using InfinityFree?

Please read carefully

Are PDF files banned

I just checked the ticket correspondence and the statement in there seems quite clear: ALL PDFS are not allowed on free hosting anymore. Which tells me that 1) PDFs are indeed blanket banned and 2) this is probably a fairly new rule. I didn’t know that this was the case. Although I have seem quite a few bad sites using PDFs to do nasty stuff. And I can imagine PDF inspection isn’t easy enough that scanning the contents of PDFs is feasible.

While you can’t host the file here (As explained in previous post), you can host it with an external service such as DropBox or Google Cloud, and link the sharing URL to your website.
