If I have a flyer in pdf format and I need to stick it into my page, what is the best way to go about this...Do I just link to it or is there some other way? thanx.
 
Depends on how you want it to appear. You can use an iframe if you want to define its boundaries, you can just provide a link to it so it opens in the current window, or you can tell it to spawn a separate window.

You can just link to it. However, the person viewing it will need to have the Acrobat Reader plugin for it to work, otherwise they'll just be given a download prompt.

My advice is to include a link to the Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded free.
