9. Open your Blogger in a new browser/window or tab, and then click the Create New Post button to open the Post window. Click the HTML tab. You can even work on your existing post but in either of the cases, you have to head over to the HTML tab.
10. Copy the embedded code and paste it where you want it to be shown.
Method 2 - Linking a PDF to Your Post
LINKING TO A PDF FROM WITHIN A BLOG POST
To link to a PDF from within a blog post, click on the add image icon.Select the PDF file and upload it.
Once it is uploaded, click on the “Insert into post” button to insert a link to it directly into your post.
LINKING TO A PDF FILE FROM A LINK OR FROM AN IMAGE IN A POST
If you want to create a link to it from an image, or from within your LINKS, then, instead of clicking on the “insert into post” button, copy the LINK URL and then hit the “Save all changes” button.You can then paste that URL into the web address of a link that you’ve created
Or, if you want to link to the PDF file from an image in a post, click on the image that you want to link the PDF to, and click on the insert link icon.
and add the 'LINK URL' in the 'LINK URL' field, clicking “Update” when you’re done.
ADDING A PDF FILE TO YOUR MEDIA LIBRARY
You can also add the PDF file directly to your media library by clicking on the “Add New” link under Media in your left-hand navigation.Select the PDF file from your computer.
Then click on the save changes.
Once a PDF file is in your library, to find out its URL so that you can link to it, click on the Library link under media.
Then click on the “View” link under the file that you want to get the URL of.
That will pull up the name of the PDF file, linked to the PDF file. Right-click (or hold down the control key when you click) on the link and choose “Copy Link Location” from the contextual menu.
That was all for this tutorial, I hope this helped you. Stay tuned and share this if your problem was solved.
