1. Go to "Pages" or "Posts" in the navigation menu and open the page you would like to add the document to.
2. Click on the "Add Media" button in the page editor. This can also be found be clicking "Insert" then "Add Media".
   
3. Click "Upload Files" and then drop the file(s) anywhere in the window to upload them to your media library. You can also "Select Files" to upload them.
   
4. Once uploaded, adjust the "Title" of the file, and click "Insert Into Page" to create your link. You can also copy a URL link to the PDF file and paste this into any another link on your web page.
