  There may be an easier way, but here’s how I would do it:

  Get into your wp-admin area of your site (https://YOURSITENAME.wordpress.com/wp-admin/)

  Go to Media > Add New.

  Upload your PDF file.

  Copy the URL of the newly uploaded PDF file.

  Back to your usual dashboard, click “Customize.”

  When the Customizer window opens off to the left of your site, click “Menus.”

  Click into the menu you are using…such as the “Primary” menu.

  Click the “Add Items” button.

  In the next window, click “Custom Links.”

  Paste the URL of your PDF file.

  In “Link Text” box type in what you want your menu item to “say.”

  Click “Add to Menu.”

  Etc.

  Hi, Thanks so much! I am using Twenty Ten and I’m trying to create a web site rather than a blog. I have menus, one is primary and I have a few menu items under the main picture. (https://practice6940.wordpress.com/)
  I did manage to upload a few files, but I have one menu set to Primary, it doesn’t seem to allow me to add sub categories. Like adding one of the uploaded articles under Resources.
  I’d like to have a static Welcome and get rid of all the rest of that (date, aside, etc) and the “Meta” whatever that is…I think this may have to do with the difference between a blog and a web site, perhaps I’ve set the whole thing up incorrectly.
  Any advice?
  Thanks so much
  Ren

  OK…so you should probably read a few help pages before you go much further.

  Here’s the main Help page where you can type in a question and maybe get just the answer you’re looking for:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/

  For creating a submenu, maybe Section 2 of this page would help:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#2-organize-your-menu

  For your question about the “meta” stuff…you might start at the Help page I mentioned earlier and ask how to remove meta…and you’ll find that those things are widgets that are placed in your sidebar, and you can easily remove them.
