my Q is: can I use documents (pdf, ppt, doc,
xls) as Items? or can I have an html file as Item and links in
it to other documents?

You could have files ie docs, pdf etc available to users from the
download component or put a link to them in a content or news
item...
You could also make a menu item that links to
a file or use the wrapper function.
Making a doc/pdf a
content item is not possible in my limited experience
Hope this helps.... aka trex1512

As P.Engee explained, you can use a "wrapper" on your document
and have it displayed in the main content area as if it was a
content item.
Making a wrapper means you will have to
create an XHTML page with the proper <object> tag for
embedding the specific file; this XHTML page will then be
rendered into an <iframe> tag automatically by the wrapper
