Forcing PDF download 2

[HowardMarks]

Does anyone know whether there is any way I can force a PDF document to download rather than open in the browser window, when it is clicked by the user?(i.e. coded into the page, not in their browser preferences.)

I am sick of writing "Right Click save target as to download"

Thanks guys

The browser is data-sniffing the file, determining that content type looks like text/plan, and displaying it accordingly. Whenever IE runs across an unknown MIME type or sees no MIME type, it tries to equate the file to well-known format based on its data. In order to force a download, use the content-disposition header:
content-disposition: attachment; filename=”myword.doc”
Content-disposition should be tested to make sure it works well for you. This page explains the whole process and is good place to start:
