I think my question is, would it be possible to post a pdf document in a manner similar to posting images (jpeg, png...) . Our problem is: we'd like to be able to post such documents as part of a discussion. I think pdf would be the most flexible format because documents would be originating from a variety of programs such as Wurd & Excel. Which leads to the question: is it somehow possible to make pdf one of the accepted formats in the post filemanager?

If there is a more obvious & logical option for displaying documents in a post feel free to re-direct me.

If you go into the control panel, then Feature settings, Attachments, Allowed and add the extension you need to be able attach to a post. pdf files will not show up in-line like a image, but you will be able to attach it to a post.

Also don't forget,since pdf files can get quite large.
You may need to increase the allowed size of file attachments.
I use pdf myself and the only negative I have with them is the document is not searchable via search in ubb.
