How can I serve static files such as a PDF using Ruby on Rails?

I want my users to be able to download a PDF when clicking on a link but when I give the route to the file and click on the link I'm getting this error: No route matches [GET] "/documents/capacitacion/Manejo%20del%20Conflicto"

Rails.root: /home/andrea/Documents/Asofarma/Platform

Heres my code: <%= link_to "Sign up now!", '/public/documents/capacitacion/Manejo del Conflicto', class: "mask" %>
