  I have PDFs of my race reports that I want to be formatted and shown as they are when I created them in a word doc or PDF…. is that possible using WordPress? Can I just upload it somehow?

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

  Somehow I think you mean you want the PDF files displayed as they were formatted.

  When you upload a PDF or Word file to your site’s Media Library, Post or Page, and insert it, what you will get is a link to download the file. See here about uploading documents https://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

  If you actually want to display the content of the PDF in your Post or Page, you’ll need to use a 3rd party utility called Scribd to do so. More about that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/scribd/

  For embedding and displaying Word documents, see here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/word-web-app/

  Looking at your above site I see you are using the Kubrik theme, which is quite old and doesn’t support WordPress.com’s latest features. There are has many, many new free themes that you may find more suitable. You can find them there: https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sort/free/

  Let us know if you need more help with any of that.
