A pdf file is not an image as such, and should not show in lightbox. It should be available to download or open if the browser permits it.

I'm having same issue.

What is the correct way to add PDF and other downloadable files to product?

Use the 2.0.1 for that. There you can upload downloadable products, which is not virtual goods for sale (shipped per download).
