This tutorial will only be helpful to you if

• you are administering Joomla version 1.0.8 - 1.0.15.or NOW Joomla 1.5!
  
• you are running JCE WYSIWYG Text Editor with File Manager Plugin (you have to pay $US 20 to download it -- very worth the money). If you're not using JCE with File Manager, this tutorial will not help you.

--------------- 

1. Make sure that the PDF is saved to your computer in a place where you can easily locate it. The filename canNOT have spaces, symbols or special characters: LikeThis.pdf Only letters, numbers, underscores and dashes.
2. Place the cursor where you would like the PDF title link to be inserted into your content.
3. Use the icon (Joomla 1.0) icon (Joomla 1.5) to open the File Manager Window.
4. Upload the PDF using Browse and then Upload.
5. Scroll in the list and identify your PDF by clicking on it so that it highlights. The “Details” window should populate with your PDF file details.
6. At the top of the window, (options section) the Title (1.0) /Text (1.5) is the name of the link that will appear on your page. Other options (layout) that are available are to include: the pdf Icon, Date, and File Size. I recommend that you check all 3 boxes to make your user have as much information about the file as possible. 
7. Click Insert!
8. If your Title is not in the position you want, you can move it around like MS Word by using Cut and Paste, just as you would text. I often add parenthesis () around the Date and File size to differentiate it from the title of the PDF. Looks better that way.
