title: Laravel routing: How to create a link to a PDF file
body: <p>I need to generate PDF documents and have them send by email as well as make them reachable by a link.
  Sending by email is OK, but I have no idea how to create the link.</p>
  
  <p>Since I use Laravel 4, all links are going through <code>routes.php</code>.
  So how do I create a link to a file at a given directory?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="http://my.domain.org/assets/pdf/file.pdf"&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>will not work, since the route is not known by laravel...</p>
