What an excellent suggestion, Colum!
As an aside, there is a benefit to using the redirect
approach that isn't immediately obvious here or in those docs. The
benefit? Well, clicking a link to open a PDF document doesn't
display the PDF immediately as clicking a link to another HTML page
would. As a result, your end users may think the link isn't
working. They may even report to you that it's broken! Using the
redirect, you are able to insert verbiage that advises them to have
a little patience. The file is being retrieved and will open
shortly.
