For avoiding using Scribd for public PDF hosting, I've been looking at http://pdf.yt/

(I keep wondering when the powers that be at HN will finally remove the Scribd autolinks on submissions, and keep being disappointed.)



Another potential option is DocumentCloud: open-source, with support from major journalistic outlets.

http://www.documentcloud.org

An example from Minar's post, the Elliot Rodger 'Twisted Life' document, has been uploaded there by a NYDailyNews reporter:

Perhaps a bit easier to read than the Scribd version, with a 'text' tab for accessing raw copyable text, and a download link for the PDF original.

YC owns part of Scribd. (Scribd took part in YC S06.)


Archive.org is also an option: https://archive.org/about/faqs.php#Uploading_Content
