Can I add a PDF to my event page?
Using a PDF in your event details
- Convert PDF to image file for easiest insertion
- Use Scribd to embed PDF (advanced option)
Tip: These are a few ways you can convert your .pdf file to an image file for use in your event page. If someone designed your flier for you, you may also contact them to see if they can provide you with an image file (.jpeg, .jpg, .gif, or .png) instead.

Option 1 (the easiest): convert your PDF into an image file
There are several ways to convert a .pdf into an image file. One way is a free web-based service called Imgur that will allow you to convert your .pdf to an image.
The first step is to upload your .pdf to Imgur. Once it's uploaded, right click on the preview image and click save as to save the image to your desktop. This will save your new .jpg file to your computer's hard drive. To give it a try, click here.
Once you have your .jpg file, go here to learn how to insert it into your event details.
Option 3 (advanced): use Scribd to embed the PDF in your event details
The final and slightly more involved option is a web service called Scribd. Scribd is a free web service where you can host .pdf files and that then will auto-generate the HTML code you need in order to embed .pdf files in your event page.
- To embed a .pdf using Scribd, go to http://www.scribd.com.
- Click the Upload button to choose your file to upload and then upload it to Scribd. You’ll be prompted to enter your email address to create an account on Scribd.
- On Scribd’s My Documents page, and click on the name of the document you wish to embed.
- Once your document opens, click Embed in the Share & Embed section. A dialog box will open. Click on the tab marked Flash. (Note: Clicking the Flash option is very important.)
- Click the Copy button to copy this embed code to your clipboard.
- Finally, go back to Eventbrite and bring up the Edit page for the event you are working on. In Step 3: Add Event Details, click on the HTML button in the toolbar. 
- Once the HTML Source Editor window opens, paste the embed code from your clipboard into the HTML code for your page. Now click Update at the bottom of the HTML Source Editor. Remember to save your changes before leaving the Edit page!
