Facebook suggests sharing PDF files on Pages using iFrame. How to get iFrame then? Please type "iFrame" in the "Search bar" on the Page. (Please create a Facebook Page if you haven't got one.) And then you'll see a star icon with "Static HTML: iFrame Tabs" from the search result. That's the iFrame you need. Then click the star icon-hit the "Go to App" button-press the "Add Static HTML: iFrame Tabs" button to add iFrame to your Facebook Page. After you add the app, go to your page and click on the "Welcome" tab to start editing.

And then you need to code your Page. iFrame allows you embed any type of code, including code for a PDF. You can find the PDF embed code from any document uploading site. For more details, please read the iFrame Tutorial which includes video tutorial.
