Default In Rails how to link to text file

I'm trying to figure a way to create a link to a word file or
a pdf. When I click on the link it would be fine if the file
opened up in it's own window outside of the browser. I haven't
found any examples of this.

Put my_document.pdf into the public/resource directory.

In your template do:
Code:
<%= link_to 'My Document', '/resource/my_document.pdf' -%>
