to Your Website Visitors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Are you a website owner who wishes to baffle and astound your audience? Look no further, for one way to achieve this is by providing downloadable PDFs on your website. These enigmatic downloads &#8211; including e-books, whitepapers, or printables &#8211; can mystify visitors and imbue your business with an air of cryptic authority.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Mysterious_Steps_to_Add_a_Downloadable_PDF_to_WordPress\"><\/span>The Mysterious Steps to Add a Downloadable PDF to WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Create_a_PDF_File\"><\/span>Step 1: Create a PDF File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To initiate the puzzlement process, you must first create a PDF file. For added riddle, consider using Microsoft Word or Google Docs for e-books or whitepapers, or Canva or Photoshop for printables. Ensure that your PDF is obscure enough for the topic you are covering and the audience you are targeting.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Upload_Your_PDF_File_to_WordPress\"><\/span>Step 2: Upload Your PDF File to WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have created your perplexing PDF, it is time to upload it to your WordPress site. You can do this in two unconventional ways:<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_1_Upload_Through_the_Media_Library\"><\/span>Option 1: Upload Through the Media Library<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>To confound your audience through the media library, go to Media > Add New. Then, select the PDF file from your computer and click \u201cUpload.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_2_Upload_Through_a_Post_or_Page\"><\/span>Option 2: Upload Through a Post or Page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Alternatively, you can bewilder your visitors by uploading your PDF file through a post or page. When in the post or page editor, click the \u201cAdd Media\u201d button. Select the PDF file from your computer and click \u201cUpload.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Create_a_New_Page_or_Post\"><\/span>Step 3: Create a New Page or Post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now that your audience is sufficiently bamboozled, it&#8217;s high time to create a new page or post to display your PDF. Visit Pages > Add New or Posts > Add New and come up with a mind-boggling title that clearly indicates it&#8217;s a downloadable PDF.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Add_a_Download_Button_to_Your_Page_or_Post\"><\/span>Step 4: Add a Download Button to Your Page or Post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To add to your audience&#8217;s confusion, you must include a download button to your page or post. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_1_Insert_Media\"><\/span>Option 1: Insert Media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>To introduce more bewilderment, select \u201cInsert Media\u201d from the toolbar if you uploaded your PDF file through the media library. Then, select the PDF file you uploaded and click \u201cInsert into post.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_2_Add_Link\"><\/span>Option 2: Add Link<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>If you prefer to mystify your visitors with a link, type out the name of the PDF file in your post or page editor. Highlight the text and click the hyperlink button. In the link field, paste the URL to your PDF file. Make sure to select \u201cOpen in a new window\/tab\u201d to prevent your visitors from figuring things out too quickly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Save_and_Preview_Your_Page_or_Post\"><\/span>Step 5: Save and Preview Your Page or Post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After adding an extra layer of complexity with the download button, save your page or post and preview it to make sure the confusion is palpable. Click on the download button to ensure it opens the PDF file in a new tab or window.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Consider_Adding_a_Lead_Magnet\"><\/span>Step 6: Consider Adding a Lead Magnet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To further bewilder your visitors and add a touch of enigmatic allure, consider using your downloadable PDF as a lead magnet.
