Insert PDF or other file into a post or page

Insert PDF or other files into a post or page

1. In the WordPress Admin, bring up the post or page where you wish to insert a link to the PDF/file
2. Place the cursor where you would like to insert the link to the file
3. In the Upload/Insert line above the Toolbar and Editing box, click the icon for Add Media 
4. The Media window pops up over the editing window. If you are linking to a file you have used on the website before, click the Media Library tab and search for it; For a new file, drag the file from your desktop into the Drop files here box.
5. Enter the Title for this file -- this will be the text that links to the file. Caption and Description are not necessary - they do not appear anywhere in most WP themes.
6. Click Insert into Post. The Media popup should disappear, and a link to the file should now be visible in the editing window. 
7. Consider formatting a group of file links as a bulleted list, and perhaps add the file type in parenthesis after the link. Example: Registration Packet (pdf)
8. Publish/Update the page or post.
