Upload the PDF file to your Media Library. You can then link to the file from your post.

When you upload the PDF Image then insert it into a post it then turns into the link

Affiliate Marketing Simplified

Clarification - I'm not trying to add images. What I'd like to do is something like this website, where you can click on the link which takes to you the pdf (which would be stored on my computer) - https://www.gmajormusictheory.org/Freebies/freebiesFP.html - which people can then either save or print out

If you have it saved on your Desktop then simply upload it like you would any other image.
Insert the link to it and that's it.

Here's a link to a page on my site to see what I mean.
Just click on its link and you are taken to the download.

It too about 2 days for my About Us page to get indexed. I've heard people say 15 minutes, and Kyle say up to 7 or 8 days. I think content and keywords are the key!
