Redirect to a file in a WordPress theme directory

This isn’t strictly a WP question, but this should work – not necessarily the most efficient representation though:

RewriteRule ^(.*mytheme/)pdf.php http://mysite.com/pdf

This (http://martinmelin.se/rewrite-rule-tester/) is a very useful site for testing rewrite rules.
