Default Help posting a PDF file

I happen to have come across a detailed survey map of the TV area south of 466A which I would like to post on TOTV. But as far as I can figure it seems the only way to do this is with a link. I had to scan the copy and save it as a PDF file because I found that the best way to maneuver around the map. I do not have a place to upload and create a link so I am looking for any help with this.

No. It is a copy of The Villages master plan that is on file with Sumter County which I scanned onto my computer. I do not believe an electronic file is avail. If you would like to see it first then maybe I can email it to you.

Nope. If it is on file with the county it will be just fine to post.

Most ISPs, e.g., Comcast give each user some space to post files on the Internet. I have uploded files on Comcast, so I know that works. Who do you use for Internet connectivity?

Another option is a site like http://www.sendspace.com/. I have never used it, but hear you can upload files for free.

In either case once a file is uploaded, you will now have a link which you can share.

Thanks for the info and I will give Sendspace a try once I confirm it is ok to post this.

spk,

Just got it here. Rather than either of us trying to answer whether it is O.K., perhaps you can check with the engineering company printed on the map to see if the map is in the public domain. I will bet that it is, but the engineer can answer that, or if it is not, then the engineering firm may grant you permission in an email back to you.
