You would put that in your server configuration (e.g. in Apache's
httpd.conf or in an .htaccess file)
I am curious: because browsers treat PDF differently, shouldn't it
be better to provide an info for user to choose download or open new
window for PDF with right click?
With Safari, it's indeed irritating that PDF opens in the same window
unless I right click my mouse for options; Firefox asks how I want to
view the PDF file. Despite my passion for the use of PDF, I don't
always want to download PDF from websites though, especially when
there is no telling the link I am gonna to click is PDF or just a link.
I don't think I like it much that the only option I have is download,
some websites do exactly what you suggested, especially the Adobe,
which forces to open up my Acrobat Professional even though I have
specifically tell my browsers use Preview only for PDF. In the view
of usability, I think this option falls short.
