Jared, can you add pdf files to post like we do jpgs?
I had to convert my pdf to a jpg before I could post it.

Hey Geno! You need to be in the full editor mode (either when creating a new thread or by clicking the black "New Reply" box within a thread) to access the "Attachments" area where you can drag and drop or click to find your pdf to upload. It should work, if that doesn't work for you, let me know!

[Geno Mancini]

Yes, that works.
Is there a way to get the pdf picture into the post (like a jpg) or do you have to click on it to see it?

Sure! I just created a new html-style code you can use in your posts to accomplish this.

1. After you upload the pdf file and create your post, it's saved to our server.
2. Right-click the file you just uploaded (talon-3view.pdf) within your post and click "Copy Link". This will copy the web address (url) to that pdf file.
3. Edit your post and paste that URL (CTRL+V) into your text.
4. Add the tags around your url.
[pdf] https://rotorwayforums.com/attachment.php?aid=16 [/pdf] (without spaces). 

It should look like this:

Open PDF in New Tab

I may simplify this further by adding notification after uploading a pdf file to ask if you'd like to embed it into the end of your post automatically in the near-future.

That could be very helpful Jared.

It needs to be as easy as posting a jpg picture.
Something like "Add Pdf image to post" on the bottom with the other selections.
