  • But you want to filter out which documents the user sees?

Use a query string filter webpart and connect it to the document library. Safest is to filter by ID.

you then you can share your url that ends something like mypage.aspx?DocumentId=1

tip: using ?Id=1 won't work.

If you just want to share a link to a view with filters, try to append the filter to the URL like this:

http://sharepoint/myDocLib/view.aspx?FilterField1=FILTERFIELDNAME&FilterValue1=FILTERVALUE

But you can not filter on each field! You can check this if you just try to apply the filter in the view by using the heading column (click on field heading). Then you can copy the browser URL and modify.

If you want to achieve something other please clarify your question.
