WordPress Tutorial – How to Upload & Link to a PDF, Microsoft Word doc, or other doc
This beginner-level WordPress tutorial is an update of the existing tutorial on mcbuzz.wordpress.com and YouTube called “WordPress Tutorial – How to Upload and Link to a PDF, Microsoft Word Document, Excel, PowerPoint or Other Doc Using WordPress”. That tutorial was done using an earlier version of WordPress. This tutorial uses WordPress 2.7. This tutorial shows three things 1) How to upload a PDF, Microsoft Word doc, PowerPoint, Excel or other Office-type document using WordPress 2.7. 2) How to insert a link to that document into a WordPress post or page. (Visitors to your site can click on the link to download or view the document.), and 3) that there are two things called “Media Library” in the WordPress 2.7 Dashboard, one of which has more information about the files in the Library than the other does. It’s helpful to see how you get to each of these Media Libraries because you can find the URL link for a file in only one of them, which can be confusing!

Open Source PDF Software
One of the needs of an open source desktop application is the requirement to produce a PDF (Print Document File) that can be sent to anyone with a PDF reader.
As any virtual assistant will tell you, in the nature of our work (which is truly online in every sense), document exchange is a big hassle. With public documents such as portfolio items it is unwise to use documents in their original formats, DOC, XLS, etc. So, the available alternative is to take up screen shots and convert it into JPEGs. Again, its very tedious, cumbersome and unprofessional to present to prospective clients. Then it was a chance discovery at PDFonline.com
All one had to do was to prepare my document, check for typos and grammar, fill in the details and upload it at PDFOnline, along with email address. You can use any free email service for this. After your document is converted, you will receive it as an attachment in your inbox. Cool! Isn’t it. So far, So good, especially if you have only static text content.
On the other hand, lets assume that you have written MyWebsite (as a hyper-linked text using the insert-hyperlink in MS WORD), instead of actually typing the URL mywebsite.com. In such case, the URL text within the PDF document will be accessible, while the hyper-linked text will not be.
Now, this is okay for small URLs like web URL, blog URL etc. Let us assume that you want to include few links to express a point, give references, provide credits etc The length of the URL is likely to be long and there might be several such intercepting links in your complete text. Providing such lengthy URLs will tarnish the presentation completely, and it is impossible to eliminate the URL too. In such case you are forced to use a hyper-linked text. But what use are there links, if these are not accessible in the PDF. PDFonline’s solution to this problem is their BCL-Easy PDF
The trail version of BCL – Easy PDF is free to download and you can convert as many documents you want to PDF without fearing an expiry date. Plus this also retains the hyper-linked texts which are all accessible from the PDF document.Great ! Isn’t it. Too Good To Be True, isn’t it… Yes, it is too good to be true. But, like any other freebie, there is a catch, which is, they have their BCL-Easy PDF stamp appearing in the bottom right corner of all the pages in the PDF file. If you are okay with it, then there is nothing else to think about.
On the other hand, if you are somewhat like me, not afraid to try open source, then I would recommend to go in for OpenOffice.org ( my personal recommendation – close replacement for MS office ~145MB, worth the effort). In addition to the regular docs, spreadsheet, paint and other stuff in their suite, OpenOffice allows you to export you documents into PDF, where in the hyperlinks are retained , there is no watermark and there is no expiry as well.
Please visit the same blog-post in the URL below and to download the PDF file to ascertain the link accessibility in the PDF documents.

Testing openoffice pdf-import extension
Testing #openoffice pdf-import extension – works nice on my simple testsuite. Will test more complex PDFs soon, but so far I’m impressed!
For a long time, ability to export to PDF was one of the major features of OpenOffice.org. I knew OpenOffice.org rendered Indic scripts well and that it was based on ICU’s rendering logic.
