Setting the Content-Disposition Header will work if you are opening the file in
Adobe Reader first also (ie it will pre-fill the filename in the Save As box,
but the end user can then change the name). That's what I do.
In C#:
String fileName = "whatever.pdf";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", string.Format("attachment;
filename=\"{0}\"", fileName));
