is it possible to redirect a link to a pdf file?

This is my site: www.mysite.com

And I createad a redirect link that if I open www.mysite.com/documentation - an index.html file will open but for now this index.html file says it's under construction.

Can I redirect the link to a pdf file? I uploaded the pdf file into the server. So that if I open www.mysite.com/documentation, my pdf named as thedocument.pdf will open.

Is it possible?

If your web hosting provider won't allow you alter the default extensions (i.e. to add pdf) then you could create a HTML page to act as the landing page and then redirect to the PDF.
