ANSWER:
Adding a PDF to your site can be done by inserting a link to the new file or embedding the file as a FlashPaper (PC ONLY) document. Linking the file opens the PDF in the Adobe Free PDF Reader. Embedding the file as a FlashPaper, displays the file in an inline frame on the page itself.

Edit the page and type in some text for the link and select it. Then go to Insert -> Link -> File on my Computer... from the menu. Browse to your PDF file, and select it, clicking Choose when you locate the file, and OK to insert the link.
Embedding the File:
