Code:
$this->load->view('your_file')
is used to load HTML/ PHP files. A PDF files is nothing
your browser can render like HTML - so that is not the
way to go.
You can set a link to your .pdf file in your html code
and when clicking the pdf should open in your browser displayed
by the acrobat plugin.
If you still get a 404 page you have to adjust your htaccess file
for you needs. I would prefer to place the pdf file in seperated
directory and not at the root level.
