Is it possible to insert a PDF document on a webpage? I am new to Joomla and still just learning to to do webpages in this program.

There are two ways to display PDFs in Joomla:
1. Create a menu link to the PDF using the Wrapper menu item type. Go to Menu Manager and create a new link for your menu. Under Menu Item Types select Wrapper. On the right side of the screen enter the URL for the PDF file.
2. To insert a PDF into a content article you need to use the HTML iframe tag. Depending on your editor settings, this code may get stripped out. You can either adjust your editor settings or use a plugin for inserting PDFs into articles. Here is a link to some plugins for this purpose: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a-design/popups-a-iframes
