Help Moving downloads/files to desktop?

Hey all! New Note 10.1 user here, and I'm playing with apps/folders. I downloaded a PDF of one of textbooks and wanted to move it to the desktop for easy access, but I've tried for like to an hour to no avail.

If I go to the downloads app, I can't drag and drop, and it only allows me to open the PDF using Polaris Office or Textbooks (haven't downloaded Adobe Reader yet). If I go to the file in the files app, I can only export it to several different areas (i.e. Dropbox, email, Evernote, etc.). Is there a simple way to put the file on the desktop?
