But sometimes, despite best practices, users are unable to upload or embed pdf files. It could have several reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You are trying to upload a very large file that your theme or WordPress does not support. In this case, you can compress the pdf file using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/in\/acrobat\/online\/compress-pdf.html#:~:text=Just%20drag%20and%20drop%20a,for%20free%20for%20seven%20days.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/smallpdf.com\/compress-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallpdf<\/a>, etc. Alternatively, you can change the upload size of WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Your theme&#8217;s uploading size is restricted by the memory limit. Increase the memory limit by following <a href=\"https:\/\/basicwebguide.com\/how-to-increase-wordpress-memory-limit\/\">this guide.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>You can easily upload pdfs using classic and block editor. But if you are trying to embed pdfs in the classic editor, then <strong>use the plugin<\/strong> as discussed above.<\/li>\n<li>Possibly, the URL address of the uploaded <strong>pdf was corrupted or removed<\/strong> from the system, check the pdf file URL and the existence of the pdf in your system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is all about <strong>how to upload pdfs to WordPress website<\/strong>. We have also learned to upload pdf files to classic editor and block editor.
