Mar 12, 2010 at 17:40 comment added Regenbogen As far as I know, Numdam gives permanent URLs for djvu, pdf etc files. It is safe to directly link to pdf files in numdam.
Mar 12, 2010 at 7:25 comment added Kevin Buzzard FWIW (my understanding of) the underlying reason for this logic is that arXiv sometimes generates pdfs on the fly and dumps them in a temporary directory and offers you a link to that. So linking "directly to the pdf" equals linking to a temp file that in a few months' time will be gone. Who knows if Numdam does the same---but who cares, because whether they do or they don't, linking to the journal page will surely always work.
Mar 12, 2010 at 4:21 comment added Harry Gindi Slightly unrelated comment: When you cite a paper like this, it's probably better to link to the page rather than the pdf (when possible) like I did in the edited link. I know that's what the staff has suggested at least for the arXiv.
