How to upload a PDF file to a Blogger blog



There are multiple occasions when you might need to upload an important pdf to your blog for your readers to view without causing a huge hassle, learn how to embed or upload a document in your Blogspot blog post the right way.

There are two easy and popular methods to complete this process.

Method 1 - iFraming a PDF in your Blog Post

Keeping in mind about absolute beginners, I have split this process into two major steps. So guys, let's get them one after another.

Step 1: Upload your File to Google Docs

1. Open Google Docs website from the above link, and sign in via your Gmail ID. You will face a window somewhat like this below:


2. Click on the folder that is a deepened in the above pic, that will open your Google Drive. Now if you already have uploaded your file in the drive then it's well and good, else click the Upload tab that is at the right corner, and upload a PDF file.


3. After that, the PDF file will automatically open up, select the three-dotted menu, and click Share.

4. Now, click on Get Shareable link and click on More.

5. Next, select 'Public' on the Web option. See below.


6. Click Done to exit the box.

7. Again head over to the three-dotted menu and select Embed this... whence this box will appear.


8. Copy the code.

Now we proceed to the second major step of the process.

Step 2: Time to work on blogger.

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.
