How to Use the Public PDF Viewer (for Public External Share Links)

Updated today

Introduction

Public links open in a lightweight viewer so anyone can read the document without signing in, while keeping the experience view-only and secure.

Steps

  1. Open the public External Share link in your browser.

  2. Use the viewer controls:

    • Zoom to fit (default)

    • Full screen

    • Download

    • Print

  3. If you have access inside Burai and you are signed in, you may be redirected to the file’s File Details page instead.

Notes / Tips

  • The Public Viewer does not show collaboration tools (comments, anchors, tasks).

  • If the link is expired or revoked, you’ll see an Access expired / revoked screen with an Open Burai CTA.

Summary / Next Steps

Use the Public Viewer for frictionless read-only distribution, and Limited Access External Share when collaboration is needed.
