  Hi, I have a site using Lovecraft free theme. Is there any way to embed a .pdf document from the media archive on a post? In other sites I use iframe or embedly but it seems it is not available for this theme. Thanks.

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

  Hello @dtabera,
  You can use Scribd or Google Docs to embed documents directly into the posts/pages.

  Guide to embed documents using Scribd/Google Docs can be found in these support docs:

  Hope this helps 🙂

  Thanks @otpidusprime, I just wanted to embed content without using any external service. But I guess I’d better go to Scribd or Google.

  @dtabera using Google docs is the your best option because of its robustness.

  You can also add files using the Add Media button and then selecting and inserting it into a post but it will provide just a link to that PDF file not an iframe.
