How do I include a PDF image with my post?

I made a bumper sticker using Adobe Indesign and saved it as a PDF file and I want to post it here before having the bumper stickers printed. I want to do this to ask for y'all's advice/input. I'd like to see these bumper stickers all over the place. But how do I get that PDF image to show up in this post so y'all can see it? I can't figure out how to do it. Thanks for any help.

On a Mac you can do it by opening the file in Preview and exporting it as a .jpg, which you can then upload to a site like Postimage like any other photograph. From there you can link it to DU.

So...just open a 'Reply to this post' item and then (1) Add a 'Reply title' (2) then add whatever words you like (3) then click 'link' and insert the link created by your image service...as in, 'postimage' (4) then click 'Post My Reply' to post a message with an image...correct (?).

Test Image (by way of 'postimgage') just about [Removed by wyn, as 'postimage' included my email address which I did wish to disclose in this public forum...so no image here, with this message...sad trombone (!).

Edit (A): So it did post a link to an image...how about inserting an image directly into this 'DU Message text' area (?).

1. Save your image as jpeg
2. Go here --- https://imgur.com/upload
3. Click on "choose photo/video' to upload your image from your saved file
4. When your image shows, click on the three dots next to "copy image", and select "get share links"
5. Click on BBCode to copy the link
6. On your DU post, paste that link. And you're done!

Looking forward to seeing your bumper sticker.
