  I have several instructional pdf files – between 10 and 20 pages each that I’d like people to be able to access. What’s the best way to post this content? Links to the content? If so, how do I do that? Thanks!

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

  Hi there !

  You just need to treat them like images, but they will be PDF files instead. Same procedure, ‘Add Media’ then drag and drop the file into the box then make sure that ‘Media File’ is selected in ‘Attachment display settings’.

  Have a nice evening,

  You could also put them in Scribd and embed the Scribd doc in your post http://en.support.wordpress.com/scribd/

  Or, since they are so long, you could just insert them the regular way: upload them as media, and copy the URL of the uploaded file, and then make some anchor text like DOWNLOAD HERE and link that text to the file.
