There's probably a much better solution out there, but if you open a dropbox account (free, takes a few minutes) - you can put a pdf in your public folder, get a 'share' link and just link it to people! You can store up to 2GB in a dropbox folder with a free account, and it's handy to have one anyway!

Please see here for hosting reccomendations. No discussion of web hosts please.
I don't think theres many free hosts that would be ad free. Would using something like mediafire, rapidshare not suit? You could also try Slideshare

Google docs is another option, opens in browser without any surrounding distractions.

Dropbox is probably the simplest if it's only a few files ..
