You can use flask send_file or send_static_file function in 5 lines:

from flask import send_file, current_app as app

@app.route('/show/static-pdf/')
def show_static_pdf():
    with open('/path/of/file.pdf', 'rb') as static_file:
        return send_file(static_file, attachment_filename='file.pdf')

Also can use send_from_directory if you want send file from certain directory:

from flask import send_from_directory, current_app as app

@app.route('/show/PDFs/')
def send_pdf():
    return send_from_directory(app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'], 'file.pdf')
