Guidelines for sharing a menu PDF on Facebook.
After you post a PDF to Facebook of your menu, Facebook may review it to ensure it complies with their guidelines. If not, they might contact you about changes to make or remove it. To avoid this, your menu must:
- Be up to 1 MB in size.
- Include multiple items listed with a text title for each one.
- Have items that are clearly readable.
- Contain multiple items on each page (when it has more than one page).
Listing prices on your menu is optional.
Benefits of sharing a PDF on Facebook.
There are lots of advantages to sharing PDFs on Facebook. Here are some of the top ways a business could benefit from doing so.
- Engage with customers. PDFs are a great way to display your prices, menus, pictures and infographics to customers — because they will open and be read within the user’s web browser. This provides maximum accessibility, so everyone can access them on desktop or a mobile device.
- One master copy. Rather than emailing documents to current customers, you can keep all your important PDFs in one place. That means whenever something changes, you can upload the new version and then use Facebook to inform your customers.
- Share useful assets. If you’ve created whitepapers, menus or other vital information about your business that won’t change often, storing these as PDFs on your Facebook page means customers can access them easily.
