1 year, 3 months ago: @virgilbrewster I think the best way is to simply upload the PDF file into WordPress uploads folder, following this path:
wp-content/uploads
However, you can actually uploaded anywhere on your server, but… Why the uploads files?
Simply because we all forget things, especially when we emigrate sites to other hosting or do upgrades on our blogs, the uploads folder is a safe place in my opinion.
You can then create a nice folder inside the uploads folder like this:
wp-content/uploads/mybook/YOUR-BOOK.PDF
Or
wp-content/uploads/download/YOUR-BOOK.PDF
** The other way is to create a folder on the root directory, to avoid long URL, this can easily done by FTP or via your host cPanel, for example:
Your-Blog.com/downloads/Your-Book.PDF
I hope this helps, and good luck.
