  I would like to put a pdf file as a page on my blog, but every time I try it ends up displaying it as a link to my resume instead.

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

  You cannot embed a pdf on your blog the way you want to. You can only upload it to your media library and then link to it. But you can link to it from text or from an image, say, a photo of you, for example.

  However, you can embed Word documents so they display directly on a page. See here for instructions: http://en.support.wordpress.com/word-web-app/

  Here’s what I found:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

  If you want to embed the document itself, you will have to use a third party application like Scribd or Google Docs. Otherwise, the documents will appear as a download link.
