I was asked today how to insert a PDF or Word Doc into a Joomla article. Here is the process if you need it as well. This is a two step process. I am assuming you are already logged into the administration panel.
Step 1: Upload the file you want to link
Choose Site -> Media Manager
At the bottom of the Media Manager shown below click Browse (click image to view larger). Once you have selected the document you wish to upload choose Start Upload.
When the file finishes loading, choose Content -> Article Manager from your admin menu.
Either choose an existing article now or create a new article. Type the article and include the name you want displayed for your document. Now highlight the name you type and click the Insert/Edit Link icon as shown below.
This will pop open a window where you can adjust all the settings for how this link will work. The only mandatory field is the Link URL field. Enter the relative path to the document you uploaded. Typically /images/myfilename.extension. Click Insert to return to your article.
Make sure you save your article and you are done.
Please le me know of other topics or questions you need answered and I’ll get to them as I have time.
