Welcome Back
In today’s post I have a plea for help… I have lots of ideas for projects for this blog, that will include PDF’s. I can create PDF’s no problem, but can anyone tell me how I can include them in a blog post on here?
In the ideal world, I want to be able to have something on here, that people can click and then download the PDF I’ve made. Can anyone tell me if this is possible, within the free blogging services the WordPress have?
For example, I’ve created a nice calendar page for December and would love to include it on here for you all to download. It’s ready to go(ish) I’m going to try to upload an A4 sized image soon and just hope for the best. But if anyone knows the solution for the PDF thing, or has clever family members who they can ask I’d really appreciate it.
New video coming soon :)
Here’s hoping, many thanks :)
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon

Hi Billie, when you make a post click on ‘add media’ (a little icon at the top) and you should be able to upload and insert your pdf easily. I just tried (on a free wordpress blog) and it seems to work for me.
good luck!
if you have more questions please let me know :)
It worked for me, too, just like Liesan described it. It automatically generated a download link.
If you want a more fine-grained control over how your pages displayed on your blog and distributed over the page you’d probably have to convert your file into jpg’s. That’s easy. Just do a google search for “convert pdf to jpg” and you’ll find a bunch of software that can help you. Many of the converters work like printers, so while in Acrobat Reader, you decide to print the file but instead of sending it to your real printer you choose your converter program which will generate your new files.
Hi Liesan & Buechertiger
You are both awesome thank you so much, sending a virtual chocolate cake to both of you :)
I’ll have a go, got on ok with the calendar page last night and that will be on here for dowload next Wednesday.
Looks like I’d better get working on my PDF’s now its possible to put them on here.
Thanks
Billie :) :) :)
I don’t know anything about wordpress…but I would look into the file storage they offer and see if you can upload the file and create a URL for it. That way you can link to it in your post.
