  A pdf is just another sort of image, so it will upload to your media library, and it’s available at the URL that WordPress assigns to it. You can see that URL when you open the pdf within the Media Library to edit it.

  It’s up to you to link to it from within a post or in a menu so folks can view it. You can also display it inside a post or page as an image they can click to view the original document..

  You need use Scribd, Google docs or Issuu for that:
