Add gitignore

My collaborators had a tendency to accidentally commit PDF, which made it harder to incorporate their pull requests.
Consider adding PDF to gitignore.

Good observation. Thanks. Although, I am not sure what will happen when a person not so good with gitignore suddenly finds that their PDFs are not updating after git sync! (Considering many people also commit their PDF's).

I'm okay making it (slightly) harder to commit a pdf, but that's up to you.
Then perhaps ignore everything in PDF except the pdf's with

PDF/*
!PDF/*.pdf

My justification being that git stores the entire file for each commit---not a diff--- so a careless user will commit numerous pdfs during the lifecycle of a document, bloating the repo. But I also recognize the convenience of having the pdf accessible via github.
