How do I add a PDF file that is downloadable by clicking?

There are two ways to do it really.

First, use the File | Import to import the file directly into your existing
web then link to it as you would another file. Before the link you can write
text instructing your users to right-click the link and select "save target
as ..." which will let them download it directly. There is no real way in
HTML itself to force a PDF to be downloaded as browsers will always try to
find the best viewer for whatever type of file they are downloading.

The second way is to create a zip file of the PDF, and importing the zip
file and linking to it as described above. Then your users will be able to
download the zip file easily and extract the PDF file from it.
