How to list PDFs for download on a page

Hi,

I am trying to set up a “publications” page on a site that will have a list of PDFs available for download.

I want it to look nice with a little PDF symbol next the title. Ideally it would be automated so one could drag and drop the PDFs into a plugin and have them display as links on the page with a title.

I looked through some plugins which would serve this purpose – the closest thing i found was wp-filebase which is not easy to use and a bit buggy (for me at least)

I just want to be able to list the PDFs (stored in the uploads folder on same server) from the media folder on the page and have it look like a pretty little download link with an icon, so when the visitor clicks it it opens the PDF in a new tab.

Is there a plugin that will do this or do I need to make a class or something?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
