Temporary sharing

Create a 10-minute PDF share link

Upload only the finished file you choose, store it briefly in Cloudflare R2, then auto-expire it.

For a public production site, do not expose a permanent upload token in client-side JavaScript. Use short-lived tokens or require an admin/private workflow.

Links expire after 10 minutes. A scheduled Worker cleanup removes expired R2 objects so temporary shares do not become permanent storage.

Only files you explicitly share are uploaded; normal PDF tools remain browser-local.

This is optional cloud sharing, not part of local-only editing.

User guide

How to use 10-minute Temporary PDF Share

Upload a file to configured Cloudflare R2 storage and create an expiring download link.

  1. 1

    Choose the completed PDF you want to share.

  2. 2

    Confirm that temporary cloud upload is acceptable.

  3. 3

    Upload and copy the generated link.

  4. 4

    Keep the link private and verify that it expires after the configured period.

Best for

  • Short-lived client delivery
  • Temporary transfer between devices

Important limitation

This feature uploads the file and therefore is not local-only. It requires configured R2, KV, Worker routes, cleanup jobs, and storage limits.

Frequently asked questions

Is the file stored in the cloud?

Yes, temporarily in the configured R2 bucket.

Is deletion exactly at ten minutes?

Access can expire at ten minutes; physical cleanup timing depends on the scheduled deletion job.

PDFPerch processes files locally unless this guide explicitly identifies a cloud-dependent feature. Always keep an original copy and verify critical output before submission, printing, signing, or accounting use.
