  I have a number of documents in PDF form. Ideally I would like to transfer the content of the PDFs straight into a blog entry. A less ideal way would be to post a short abstract and then the PDF file. Can it be done? If yes, how?

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

  You can try copying the content of the PDF file and pasting it into your editor for your blog post. You may need to adjust some formatting. This will work best if your PDF file is mainly text. Dealing with the images might be problematic.

  But you can also upload your PDF files to your media library and write your summary and link to the PDF file as you suggested.

  Upload a Document

  Another option is to embed the file:
