All you have to do, is create a taf that reads in the DATA of the pdf
file, create your own custom header and serve the data out. The custom
header MUST have a correct content-length, or it won't be compatible
with all browsers. content-type should be application/pdf, and THIS IS
THE IMPORTANT PART, content-disposition needs to be:
attachment; filename=thefilename.pdf
Substitute "thefilename.pdf" with the filename you wish. You can also
even do this with JPEGs or other image formats, and the browser will
not display, but instead download. I use this technique in witango and
php on several sights in production.

Hi Everyone,
I need to create a link to a PDF file that immediately brings up a
download dialog
instead of opening the file. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Stefan
