When I follow these instructions it doesn't go to a link but opens a "save as" box for the pdf. I'd like it to open in the browser. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks

@Gazzhands - This totally depends on the browser you are using and if there is a PDF plugin installed. You don't have control over that on the blog end, it's up to the end user and how they have their browser configured to view PDF files.

Thank so much for your tutorial.

I followed the directions, but after clicking the upload button I'm never able to get to next screen were you enter captions, names, etc.

After waiting a few seconds, a button "Save all changes" flashes too quickly and goes away, but the file has not been uploaded.

Did I miss something? Do you know what's wrong?

Thanks for your help

Hi angoleen,

I'm not sure what would be causing that. Which browser are you using? Do you know which version of Wordpress you have?
