use any browser sniffer (e.g. Live HTTPHeaders/IE HTTP watch basic ) or any proxy (e.g. fiddler or even jmeter http proxy) and all the urls that the browser accesses will be recorded. You cant modify the mime-type its sent by the server and in any case it is not what you want to do. i merely mention it to indicate the behavior of the browser
>I assume by getting the bytes of PDF, we cannot state that Some_File.pdf is sent to client side from the server. Am I correct? Im not sure what you mean by this. The browser is making a request and getting a response (code, content-length , other headers and a stream of bytes). What you can verify in Jmeter is that you are getting the same headers (which would include the file name, the content-length, the content-type) and that you actually get the bytes that form the PDF file. So if all this works you are getting a PDF file. What you cannot verify(Directly) in JMeter is the contents within the PDF file >I tried the suggestion by inserting "Save response to file" after the HTTP >request was made.

Assuming you did the save response to a file on the correct HTTP Request (i.e. the one that generates/downloads the PDF file) , what makes you say its a garbage file - what does it have? is it a binary? did you name it as whatever.pdf and attempt to open it or what? You need to know the requests your browser is making and replicate that in JMeter..
