  Hi,
  Can you please explain the process to allow me to use Jetpack’s Post by Email with pdf (and other non-image) attachments?

  I can see your info that says

  “If you have purchased the Space Upgrade, then the following additional attachment types will be supported:
  Supported audio files (mp3) will be displayed using the WordPress Audio player.
  All other files (doc, PDF, etc) will be displayed as links to the attachment.”

  but I’m unclear how that works between .com/self-hosted. If I purchase the space upgrade for my wordpress.com account does that mean I can then post pdf attachments by email to my self-hosted blog? If so can I do so multiple self-hosted blogs with Jetpack installed and connected?

  Thanks.

  Hi there – thanks for your patience while we investigated this. Currently, only image file types are supported as attachments with Jetpack’s Post by Email feature, and no Space Upgrade is required. We’re sorry for the misleading wording on the support page – the text has been updated.
