So how does one go about uploading, say, a PDF for someone to access with the browser?

Very cool btw

You can upload it using, say https://add.bico.media/.

Then you just share the transaction ID or sha256 hash of the pdf file to recepient.

Recepient can access that file as long as blockchain exists (basically forever).

And all this is achieved by OP_RETURN, a special op_code in bitcoin script that allows you to return data to blockchain.

Except that the link you suggest is for BSV, a bastard fork of bitcoin that tries to lure newcomers.

adjective: bastard

    1. (of a thing) no longer in its pure or original form; debased.

The idea behind this fork is that it is bitcoin IN it's original form

BSV is the original bitcoin. I'm afraid you have been misled by what 'fork' means.
