While it may seem like a lot of steps, adding a PDF to Your Page or Post can be pretty painless. The process is similar to adding a photo and will get easier after each time you successfully upload a PDF. Here are the steps to add a PDF starting in your page or post:
Step 1. Navigate to an existing Post or Page or create a new Page or create a new Post.
Step 2. Click into your Page or Post where you want your PDF link to go.
Step 3. Click on the Plus sign button at the top left of the editing screen. This will open a small window of Content Blocks.

Click on the File icon to navigate to the PDF you want to add to your page or post.
