Is there a way in WordPress of linking to a file in the theme directory without revealing in the URL that WordPress is installed?

 

For example, say I have a WP site using a theme called "Sam", if I want to link to a PDF file in the theme directory the URL would look something like:

 

www.example.com/wp-content/themes/sam/example.pdf

 

How can I make it so that the file above can be accessed like so:

 

www.example.com/example.pdf

 

Can I just do a normal 301 redirect in the .htaccess file or will that make WP break?

OK it looks like I can't just simply add a RewriteRule into .htaccess because Apache just ignores it (because of the WP rules).

 

Blargh.

Couldn't you just upload the PDF to the root?
