PDF alternative

The PDF alternative for reports people actually read.

Flodoc turns your agency's reports into live web reports: one link that reads beautifully on any phone, updates after you send it, translates into 22 languages and shows you who read what.

Why teams are looking for an alternative to PDF

Unreadable on phones

A fixed A4 page means pinching and zooming. Most readers give up after the first page.

No idea who read it

Once a PDF is emailed, you can't see who opened it, how far they got, or which section mattered.

Out of date the moment it ships

Fixing one number means exporting and re-sending a new file — and old versions keep circulating.

One language at a time

Every translation is a separate file to design, check and distribute.

PDF vs. Flodoc web report

An honest comparison — PDFs still win in some cases.

    Share a live, responsive web report instead of an attachment.

  3. 03

    See what landed

    Track opens and reading depth, then update the report without re-sending.

Questions

What is the best alternative to PDF for reports?

A web report: one link that opens in any browser, adapts to the reader's screen and can be updated after you share it. Flodoc lets you write it like a doc and publish it as a live page.

Do readers need to install anything?

No. A Flodoc report is a normal web page — readers open the link on a phone, tablet or desktop.

When should I still use a PDF?

When you need a print-ready file, a legal archive copy, or something readers must open offline. For reports meant to be read and acted on, a web report usually works better.

Send your next report as a link, not a file.
