    I want to add a PDF picture to a post. But when I use the “Add Media” button on the “Edit Post” page and try to put in the file, all that gets posted is the file name, not the picture.

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

    Howdy,

    That’s occurring because a PDF isn’t technically an image, but a document more akin to a Word or Excel file.

    You can still do it, though, by using a third-party service called Scribd. Scribd makes it easy to upload a document and drop a small snippet of text into your post to have the PDF display.

    Our instructions, including screenshots, on how to use it can be found here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/scribd/

    If you have any other questions or need anything else, please let us know! Thanks for using WordPress.com.
