1. No need to insert the download into the post as @kaiser says, you can automate:

   $download = get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=application/pdf&post_parent='.$post->ID );
   
   if ($download) {
       foreach ( $download as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
           echo '<a href="'.wp_get_attachment_url($attachment_id).'" target="_blank" class="download">Download PDF</a>';
       }
   }

   When you insert a file into a post/page/whatever, you get a <a>-download link.

   

   Then you can style this link as you want. Just insert the styles you need into your style.css file.

3. there are a few plugins out there but the one that stands out is WordPress Download Monitor which works great and has many many features, one of them is creating a download button template for easy styling as a shortcode for even easier page/post insertion.
