How to Embed an PDF in WordPress

1. Upload the PDF file you'd like to embed in your website to your website's root directory using a free FTP program such as FileZilla, Free FTP or GoFTP. Alternately, you can use your hosting company's control panel to upload your PDF without any FTP software -- simply navigate to your website's file management screen and select 'upload.'
2. Log into your website's Wordpress administration panel using the username and password you selected when you established your website.

3. Double-click on the Wordpress post or page that you'd like to embed the PDF file in from the list of posts or pages found in your Wordpress administration panel.
4. Click on the 'Insert/edit embedded media' icon found in the second row of icons at the top of Wordpress's WYSIWYG page editor.
5. Select 'Shockwave' for the type of media as requested on the Imbed/edit media pop-up dialog window. Then enter the location of your PDF file on your website into the 'File/URL' box, and select the on-screen dimensions that you'd like the embedded PDF to have. Finally, when you've finished selecting the PDF and its dimensions, click on the 'Insert' button at the bottom of the dialog window to insert the PDF.
6. Save you edited post by clicking on the 'Save' icon at the top of Wordpress' WYSIWYG editor, or click on 'Save' in the File menu at the top of the screen.
7. Test your embedded PDF file by logging out of Wordpress and then visiting the post or page where you embedded the PDF file. If the file does not appear, re-check that you correctly listed the file's location on your website, such as 'http://www.yourwebsite.com/pdffile.pdf' in the 'Imbed/edit media' dialog window.
