Then why not submit the direct PDF link in the first place? Or is it a 'helpful' news.yc antifeature?
(PDF readers actually load faster than scribed, provided you aren't using the vanilla Adobe one with all the plugins turned on.)
- dangoldin 18y agoIt's a "helpful" feature. All PDF links are auto converted to scribd.
- xirium 18y agoIt would be more useful if the original hyperlink to a PDF file was preserved and a hyperlink to scribd was also presented. This would also eliminate a problem with duplicate hyperlink suppression.
- Kaizyn 18y agoAs most readers here already know, scribd is a YCombinator startup, so it's a useful feature for news.YC to have.
