The add media icon is circled.

  1. Select Library (instead of Upload, as you did when adding a new PDF).

The media browser upload window.

  1. To search for the PDF you want to add to the page, enter a relevant keyword under File name, then select Apply.

The media library search window.

  1. In the search results, find and click on the file you want to add to the page.

The search results.

  1. Scroll down to the bottom of the file window and click on Submit. Then on the next screen, click on Submit again.

Submit.

  1. Now, follow step 7 from Add a PDF to a Page so that you can change the file name to an appropriate title for the document.
