If you uploaded a photo called "portrait.jpg," the actual file would be accessible in your browser at the address: http://yourdomain.com/content/photos/portrait.jpg . To get your PDF file to appear at just "http://yourdomain.com/," you'll need to upload into a different directory.
Using your FTP program, navigate up a couple directories from photos, into the "www.yourdomain.com/web/content" directory. This is done from within your FTP application (CyberDuck, Transmit, Fetch, or Filezilla). Once you upload yourfile.pdf (call it whatever you want), it will then be located at http://yourdomain.com/yourfile.pdf
It's very helpful to name the PDFs simply--one word, no spaces, all lowercase.
