  I’d like to be able to upload PDFs to my site. Do I need a plug in? When I try to upload them into the content only the link comes up and not the images.

  Help appreciated.

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

  Hi there,
  This was an answer I got from another forum post about that. I hope you will find it helpful! :)

  If you want to embed and view the PDF on your site, you’ll need to use either Google+ or Scribd. See these links for instructions:

  You can also embed the PDF using Cloudup, as explained here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/embedding-media-with-cloudup/#embedding-documents

  If you want to upload the PDF into your WordPress site and provide a link for someone to download the PDF, using this information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/
