Trying to add a pdf link in the nav-bar does not work as expected

[yassernec]

I am trying to add a link to a pdf to the nav-bar: I am using something like:

html_theme_options = {
    "nav_links": [
        {"title": "PDF Docs", "url": "_static/docs.pdf"},
    ],
}

What happens is that the link generated is something line _static/docs.pdf.html instead of _static/docs.pdf

Is there a way around that?

Use absolute url with https://

Thank you. I did that and it works.

The only problem is that now I have to fix the absolute path which means I need to know the depolyed domain in advance. What I did is had the site published by gh-pages and then copied the address to make the complete path.

I think it is better if it was possible to do it without having to fix the absolute path though.
