External Files ".PDF" Linking Help

Hello Everyone…

There might be some results and/or previous posts but I have been through many pages and searched without an actual answer for what I am looking for, unless I am blind and didn’t see it. If so, please forgive me for the double post/thread.

In short, here is that I am looking for to do. I am building a website locally before it goes live using WAMP server and the latest WordPress Version.

I have over 1500 .PDF files which will be linked to some links in punch of articles. Now, I don’t want to upload the files using the media manager since it will take for ever even in bulk. “multiple folders and sub folders”

So, is there a way to place this folder in my wordpress main folder and when I link the .PDF files instead of downloading them, open it in a webpage as if it was uploaded through the Media Manager?

When I placed the folder and linked my files, if I click them they download right away, I don’t want that, I want to open in a page.

Please let me know what is the right path and/or procedure of doing that.

Thanks in advance for any help

Regards,
Kiranov
