I’ve got some stuff I scanned in as a PDF. I’d like to find a site to host it (Just as PhotoBucket hosts image files) so I can share it with the world. Anybody have any suggestions?

Not really a site in the sense that you are looking for, but have you investigated Dropbox?

Seconded – Just put in your Dropbox “Public” folder and it will give you a URL from which anyone can download the file.
