Button Link for PDF Download Not Working

I am trying to link my resume button to a PDF file. However, "Safari can't find the file" keeps on popping up. 

     <div class="page-content">
            <div class="container">
                <div class="row">

                <div class="m-bot-6">
                    <a href="/documents/resume.pdf" class="btn btn-medium btn-circle btn-theme-color"download>Resume</a>
                </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

My pdf is in the documents folder.

The problem seems to be with your file path, the path you gave is pointing to the PDF located in documents folder located in root of your drive, try ./documents/resume.pdf

"/documents/resume.pdf" is referring to an absolute path.(leading /)

if your page is say domain.com/somepath/yourpage.htm and the the documents folder is domain.com/documents it would work

if the documents folder is in the same folder as the web page change it to; "documents/resume.pdf" and it will refer relative to the path instead then the path structure will not get in the way

if the page and PDF are in the same folder "resume.pdf" will work

it's always handy to understand absolute and relative paths

also note; most servers are case sensitive so match the names the same
