Hi Dola,
Setting the content type to "application/octet-stream" will force a download.
If I recall my headers correclty, setting "application/pdf" is as close as you
can get to telling it to open in the browser without embedding it in an HTML
file directly and thereby forcing the browser to use a plugin to render the
PDF.
Someone might have some other tip, but this is also somewhat browser/plugin
dependent, e.g., I notice different behavior between Firefox and Chrome, even
when opening the same links to the same PDFs.
Good luck,
Zach
