After uploading your PDF file, click on it to open it. Copy the URL of the PDF file from your browser’s address bar.

Step 3: Adding the PDF File to Your Post or Page

Now, you can add the PDF file to any post or page on your WordPress site. Simply edit the post or page where you want to add the PDF file and create a text or image link. Paste the PDF file URL that you copied earlier into the link.

Make sure to set the link to ‘Open in New Tab’ so that your visitors don’t navigate away from your site when they click on the PDF file.
