How to handle expired assets/content when user has direct URL

Are these pdfs all in a sub-directory somewhere? You could add an .htaccess file to your sub-directory root then put this as the top line.

ErrorDocument 404 /path/to/your404page

This would make it easier to manage and keep it separate from your main htaccess file.
