That is similar to how I like to handle it. I take it a step further and under Media, I create two folders. One is "images" and the other is "documents." And yes, when you right click and click "Create," just select "File" and bring your PDF in that way. The nice thing I find about doing it that way is if the contents of my PDF get updated, (which in my case is a lot dealing with a college website), then all I have to do is update the file and umbraco still references it throughout the entire site.
We have recently even started to add the static site image - logos, backgrounds, buttons etc - to the media library. This way you can just tell your designer to look up the dimensions himself/herself and just upload the new image once they have prepared the new one. :)
PDFs - best practice
What's the best way to handle PDFs and other files on my Umbraco site? Put them all in Media > Files?
