  I attached a pdf to my post, however the pdf is not visible, only the hyperlink is showing.
  Generally the attached pdf or excel etc is visible even within the post.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I see only two posts on your site, https://omaim.wordpress.com/, and neither of them contain a PDF link. Where exactly did you add it?

  If you upload a document via Add Media it should show only the link, not an embedded document. To embed a PDF you need to add it via a service like Google Docs or Cloudup:

  Hi

  log-book-to-identify-migraine-food-trigger.
  This is the pdf link in the second post. After some net search I added it with Add Media.

  I see you embedded it via Google Docs as well, though you have it set to a 300x150px window, so the whole document cannot show.

  Edit the post and switch to the HTML tab. Right at the bottom in the [googleapps] shortcode, edit the values for width and height to make that box bigger.

  The way that link displays is what should happen if you add a document via Add Media – it shows only the link, and will download or open the PDF if you click it.

  Ok. I will change the width. I thought that was all that would be visible.
  The link is there to help viewers download.
  The embed is to give an idea what the logbook is all about.
