Ensure that you have prepared your PDF document carefully in advance. PDF documents can be created using many different software packages.
Your PDF document should ideally be optimised for web use (as opposed to print) in most scenarios. This will provide quicker loading for your users. There are plenty of free websites which offer compression services such as:
Ideally the file name should use lower case letters and numbers but avoid spaces (or unusual characters) where possible.
When your document is prepared and ready to be added to your website, follow the steps below:

(create a new page or post if necessary). - Locate your cursor precisely where the text link will be placed (but don’t type any text).
- Click the Add Media button (above the editing toolbar buttons).
- Click Select Files or drag your PDF file into the dotted box. Your PDF document will be imported into the WordPress Media library.
- Once the uploading/crunching process has completed, enter the text you require (for the link on the page) in the Title box.
- Under ATTACHMENT DISPLAY SETTINGS choose Link To Media File. This ensures that text added to your post will link to the file you have just uploaded.
Click the Insert into Page/Post button - Don’t forget to press the Update or Publish button to finish.
