I did something like that a month ago and it worked if I used an absolute URL.  I’m still debating if that was a great idea since you can’t do target=”_blank” to open a new window/tab.

Subject: [support] PDF as a menu item

My customer has a PDF of his products and now wants a menu item to display that file. I tried just creating an item with that file's [relative] URL and it says that the path is invalid. Drupal 6 for the moment, but will probably be going to 7 soon.
