I have an updated version of a pdf file which is linked to several pages and pending posts. I want to replace the old version with the new one and keep all the existing links. Thank Priya

there is also a plugin called WXY Tools Media Replace that is easier to use and works anywhere you can upload an attachment. It also preserves any alternate text, descriptions, or categories for attachments. Hope this is helpful.– clarence bowmanCommented Feb 28, 2021 at 19:45

You want to use this plugin Enable Media Replace
Simply install it then you will be able to replace media items with new ones.
It will also give you the option to keep the existing file name or update all links with the new filename.

Hi Mark Thanks for that; however I seem to have lost a lot of the images on my site. Is that pure coincidence or has the plugin caused this? Thanks– PriyaCommented Aug 6, 2013 at 11:26

I've never seen such an issue with it worth checking out wordpress.org/support/plugin/enable-media-replace to see if anyone else has. Have you got any caching plugins or anything that might be causing conflicts with it changing stuff? Commented Aug 6, 2013 at 11:40
You have acesss to FTP/ Wordpress Files ? This is quite a simple: Take a look on the URL of your PDF. It should look like thi:
http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/(month you have uploaded this file)/(day)/yourfile.pdf
Just follow this path on your Wordpress files and replace the old pdf with the new pdf and make sure the new pdf have the same name of the older. ( replace it )
