Newbee - Need a basic plugin for uploading PDFs and Audio file

Hello,

I need to build the most basic site for a client and all they want to do is occasionally upload pdf for visitors to view and upload audio files for visitors to listen. Some mention drupal has extentions/plugin that do this.

Can some body help with 1. where I can find these simple extn/plugn? 2. and how to install them in to my theme template?

Thank you in advanced.

I'd recommend to check

I'd recommend to check http://drupal.org/project/audiofield for audio uploads, since afaik PDF doesn't require additional processing. As for installation: each module contains README file where all module-specific installation details are described. Some modules have online documentation, check this http://drupal.org/node/973194 for audiofield module.
General Drupal module installation instructions could be found here: http://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-7

Good luck!

Add file field

It has nothing to do with the theme used. What you need to do, is to add file upload field to your content type. It may be the default "Article" type, or you might rather want to make a special content type for that purpose.

It's Structure->Content types->Add content type (or edit an existing one). There you should first add file field to upload your PDF (audio may work better with the audio module advised previously), some other field you may need (body for html text for example) then edit the display if needed. And then you can make new nodes (posts) using this content type by going Add content->the content type you made (or editied).
