Sharing PDFs on your website is a straightforward two-step process that gives you flexibility in how visitors access your documents.
Step 1: Upload Your PDF
The first step is to upload your PDF under "Media" → "Files".
Tip: You may wish to create a directory first, then upload the PDF into that directory for better organization.
Step 2: Display or Link to Your PDF
You have two options for making your PDF accessible to visitors:
Option A: Embed PDF Viewer (Recommended)
Insert a "Components - PDF" section into one of your pages. This displays the PDF directly on your webpage with a built-in viewer.
Option B: Create a Download Link
If you prefer a simple download link:
- Navigate to a "Basic - Paragraph" section (or similar section type)
- Enter the text for your link into the text area (e.g., "Download PDF guide")
- Highlight the link text you just entered
- Click the link button (it looks like chain links)
- Select the PDF file you uploaded from the "Link List" dropdown menu
- Click "Save Changes"
Choose the option that best fits your needs: embedded viewing for immediate access or download links for offline reading.
