Digital Distribution - PDF

The final way that you can distribute your magazine digitally is through a PDF and this is usually for smaller publishers with limited resources but its still a fairly popular form of distribution. PDF forms of magazines can be easier to access because everyone has a phone or computer with access to the website but you can also send emails to other people to increase your magazines popularity. One downside to PDF is the file size because some people could have a hard time downloading your magazine. The good things about having a PDF of your magazine is that you can add higher quality pictures to the pages and make your magazine look better overall. You can also increase interactivity with your audience by adding hyperlinks and jump links throughout your magazine. If you choose to give free trials for your magazine like sending the first copy for free you should probably choose to do it through a PDF and then add a link to your magazine's subscription page to allow the reader to easily subscribe to your magazine. Overall PDF magazines are a good way to get your magazine out there but thats about it because apps or websites are far more efficient at doing the same job than a PDF.
