Social Planner in Connectly now includes a robust new feature: the ability to upload photos and publish them as PDFs on LinkedIn. This also includes the option to import PDFs and split each page into individual images to post on LinkedIn and various other social media platforms.
The LinkedIn PDF Carousel has emerged as one of the most utilized formats for disseminating information, offering a unique method to interact with your audience and exhibit your knowledge.
Based on the 4th Annual Algorithm Research, LinkedIn PDF Carousels generate 2.2X to 3.4X greater reach compared to posts containing just text and images.

To create a LinkedIn Carousel Post/Document Post, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Marketing > Social Planner

- Click on the file upload icon (located between the image and video upload icons)
- Upload one or more PDFs for a LinkedIn carousel or import images for a PDF post on LinkedIn
- If necessary, you can edit the PDF name and add a watermark
Note:
- LinkedIn permits up to 300 pages and a 100 MB limit per document.
- When imported into the social planner, PDFs are transformed into images, and if Instagram is chosen, the images are automatically adjusted to fit Instagram’s aspect ratio restrictions.
- Users can now remove media by clicking the ‘X’ that appears when hovering over the media preview.
- When the ‘post as a PDF’ option is selected, all the images are grouped into a PDF and posted to LinkedIn.
