You can add a file named <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ page.redirect_to }}"/>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url={{ page.redirect_to }}" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Redirecting...</h1>
<a href="{{ page.redirect_to }}">Click here if you are not redirected.<a>
<script>location='{{ page.redirect_to }}'</script>
</body>

layout: redirected
permalink: /cv/
redirect_to: https://your.pdf.location

{%- endif -%}
{% include head.html %}
</head>Then, your ---

In case it is helpful, you can also have the pdf embedded in the webpage. Like this you avoid that people leave the website when reading the pdf. The solution can be found at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46105960/inserting-my-pdf-in-my-blogs |

This is very helpful and most appreciated. After making @marctang's modifications, my cv pdf was shifted to the right. In case anyone else faces the same issue, I removed the line "sidebar: left" from "cv.md" in the "_pages" directory to fix this. The full file is shown below: |

You could also modify
_layouts/default.htmlto include the following:Then, your
_pages/cv.mdwould look like:Since this solution re-uses the
