Here’s a quick tutorial that shows you a variety of ways to offer PDFs on your Unbounce landing page. 🎉
This could be beneficial if you’re offering something like an infographic, a whitepaper or a sales deck - without requiring your leads to download the file.
Note: If you are looking to offer a file download after for submission, you may want to take a look at our instructions to do that here.
For the most part, you’ll want to include these assets either in a lightbox (click-through) or on the form confirmation dialogue, and not on the main landing page itself.

Testing
Now let’s test this puppy out!
Like any other feature that you implement onto your page, you’ll want to see what effect it has on your conversion rates. We recommend running an A/B test and segmenting a small portion of traffic towards the page, just to be safe. Documentation on A/B testing can be found here.
