Use HTTPS Only: All PDF URLs must use HTTPS protocol. HTTP URLs will be rejected.

Size Limits: PDFs must be under 10MB to ensure fast loading and processing.
3
URL Encoding: Always URL-encode PDF URLs when constructing Quick Fill links to handle special characters.
4
CORS Headers: Ensure your PDF hosting supports CORS if serving from a different domain.
5
Public Access: PDF URLs must be publicly accessible (no authentication required).
