You may wish to add a citizen science project report to your wiki page. Below are some screenshots of the process, and a pdf document which has been added this way. A pdf is treated as a media file in the wiki.

This is the end result - a line in the project which indicates that your have a media file, a pdf. When you click on the hyperlink, the Report pdf opens in a new page of the browser. This is the most secure system, and simple.

1. The report has to be loaded as as media. If you continue the standard process to display it, it will be cumbersome to open. Like this, File:demo report pdf.pdf You can change the source code to

[[Media:demo report pdf.pdf]]

and it will open in a new browser page, Media:demo report pdf.pdf

2. Or it may be easiest, once it is in the system, to find the upload in 'My edits' in the left hand pane, under the the file icon.

3. Write the text you want to show, like

Demo Report using pdf

4. Then link this text to your document, using an external link

https://citscihub.s3.amazonaws.com/demo_report_pdf.pdf
