I wanted mine accessible from ~/Documents so I did a symlink:
Code:
cd ~/Documents
ln -s ../PDF "PDF Printed"
You could do the same with Downloads:
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
ln -s ../PDF PDF
EDIT: for anyone who is brand-spanking new to Linux or symlinks, a symlink is a symbolic link, or a way to tell the filesystem that you want it to treat a certain location as if it exists in another location as well. There are different kinds of symlinks, the one above is a soft symlink. Windows can do this as well with the mklink command.
What the commands above did:
1) change directory (cd) to the Documents (or Downloads) folder in the home folder(~)(/home/yourusername)
2) create a soft link to the folder PDF in the parent folder of the current folder (../) which is ~/PDF, and name the soft link "PDF Printed" in the first example or "PDF" in the second - keep in mind that paths with spaces must be surrounded by quotation marks "". (./ is the current folder, ../ is the parent, ../../ would be the folder above that, etc).
-Why not just link to the absolute path (~/PDF or /home/username/PDF) instead of the relative path? Well, you are unlikely to move your home folders but let's say you did, or you copied them to an external drive under /myprofilebackup/ or somesuch. A link to ~/PDF will point to the PDF folder in the current user on the currently running system's home folder, and a link to /home/yourprofilename/PDF will not work unless that path exists (if you're on another computer borrowing a login, say), whereas a link to ../PDF will point you where you want to go, so long as you also copied the PDF folder along with the folder that has the link to it.
