Would you like to add a PDF file to your website? A PDF file is any file that is saved onto your computer. A PDF can take the form of a news letter, a lot plan, a form, an image, or any other marketing material that is stored on your computer. Adding a PDF file to your site is beneficial for your clients as they are able to immediately access any additional information, or forms that they require.

To link a PDF file to your website, follow the steps below:
