  Hello carolinawringler,

  If you have a Google account, you can embed your PDF files in your post. Check this out. http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-docs/

  Or you can upload your file online through any website that allows it and copy the embed code in the Text editor not in the Visual editor.

  Hope this helps. :)

  There are several wordpress plugins that may help you with this as well. Just do a search of “pdf embed” in the plugins directory at https://wordpress.org/plugin and pick the one that best suits your needs.

  Please stop referring to plugins. We provide only relevant WordPress.COM responses here. We do not provide any WordPress.ORG responses on this support forum.

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  See here for a full comparison WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  There is no upgrade you can purchase here that provides FTP access and the ability to install plugins and or any third party themes.

  See:
  Accepted file types here http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/

  Uploading documents
  See here for accepted file types http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/ The following processes are outlined particularly for users who wish to upload a document and add its download link to a blog post or page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

  Embedding documents
  If you want to embed the document itself into a post, then you will have to use a third party application like Scribd or Google Docs.
