<p>PDF Menu Linker is a small admin-only plugin that makes it easy to add and manage <strong>PDF links in navigation menus</strong>.</p>
<p>It adds a dedicated <strong>PDFs</strong> panel to <strong>Appearance <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Menus</strong>, and a <strong>Replace PDF</strong> control on PDF menu items, so you can swap files without recreating menu items or touching URLs manually.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>PDFs panel on the Menus screen</strong> – Select a PDF from the Media Library and add it directly to any navigation menu.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic link text and title</strong> – Link Text and Link Title fields default from the PDF filename (without the extension), and can be edited before adding.</li>
<li><strong>One-click Add to Menu</strong> – Creates a standard custom menu item that opens the PDF in a new tab, using WordPress core menu APIs.</li>
<li><strong>Replace PDF on existing items</strong> – For custom links that point to a <code>.pdf</code>, a <strong>Replace PDF</strong> button appears next to the URL field so you can change the file without changing labels.</li>
<li><strong>Native WordPress UX</strong> – Uses WordPress’ Media Library, menu editor, styling, permissions, and nonces. No custom tables or front‑end changes.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
<li>A user role with permission to manage menus (typically users who can <code>edit_theme_options</code>).</li>
</ul>

<li>Click <strong>Select PDF</strong> and choose a file from the Media Library (PDFs only).</li>
<li>Optionally adjust <strong>Link Text</strong> and <strong>Link Title</strong>.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Add to Menu</strong>.</li>

</ol>
