PDF's are a great way to share a large amount of information in a timely manner, without having to necessarily build it all out on your website. For instance, if you have a product guide or a weekly newsletter/bulletin, rather than building out multiple pages on your site (requiring either time or money), you can simply upload a PDF and link your visitors to it.
Add the PDF to your Media Library
1. Log into your site ([your-site]/wp-admin).
2. Navigate to Media Library on your toolbar.
3. Either select the "Add New" button or drag & drop your content into the library.
4. You should see your new file appear in the library.
