I have a few questions about adding PDF documents to my website.
Firstly what would be the benefits of adding pdf's to my website and under what conditions would I make use of this?
Then how exactly would I go about adding pdf's to my website? What is the process?
And lastly how would I SEO these pdf's?
I read something recently that said having searchable and ranked pdf's on my website can really help with rankings but I am a little confused as to why I would want to add pdf's to my website.
Why do people do this?

There is also some WordPress plugins to turn every post / page of your blog into PDF file, so it may be another thing to implement on your website :D

Well there are several benefits to having PDF's on your site people can open/read and download (online or offline). A PDF (Portable Document File) is just that, it's a file that has content in it (words and pictures) the same as your website has a file called a .html file with words and pictures in it. And as such, that document can be read, indexed and ranked like any other document type that Search Engines can read. So there's that, and the good thing about PDF's is that they can be opened in the browser like any web page can, or even downloaded to the users computer/device and stored and read again even when they're not online!
That makes PDF's very good to use for that reason. And for that reason, that's more for what PDF's should be used for. In some cases Lynne, it's good to make your web content available in different formats. I used to use a plugin for this on one of my eBook sites. I'd write reviews of eBooks and put that in blog posts. And I'd use a plugin that would make a PDF and a ePub and .mobi. You can see this in action on an old site here .ePub is is widely accepted by most platforms and eReaders like Apple’s iBooks, Barnes & Noble’s Nook, Adobe Digital Editions and Android devices. Where as .mobi is also cross-platform but is more for much more complex content and every Amazon eBook reader support it along with Android and Apple devices. So people who use those devices may download the post and read it offline should they wish. Also they can download and save the content in those formats, and then upload that elsewhere should they wish which contains your links.
You just need to create the PDF file, then you can upload it into a post using the WordPress Importer tool. The same you would an image or a video file. You can then link to the location of that PDF file in your post so people can open/read or download it. Or you can use a plugin like I do on that site and it will make you a PDF / ePub and or Mobi file for you for your readers. What I like about that plugin is that it creates a PDF file for you on the fly just from your blog post content in that post only which is pretty cool.
The plugin is called Read Offline if you'd like to try it https://wordpress.org/plugins/read-offline/
Well it's just words really just like any other content. So you would want to make it great content. Long content ranks better. Content with image, bold content, high authority links and the like. You can also add meta information to them though if you make them yourself.
And that's that! Hope this helps!
Mike. I like the questions you ask Lynne! I wish more people would come on here and ask questions like this! :D [quote][b]Firstly what would be the benefits of adding pdf's to my website and under what conditions would I make use of this?[/b][/quote] Well there are several benefits to having PDF's on your site people can open/read and download (online or offline).
