Need Help Please! How do I get my uploaded pdf to prompt people to download it?

Probably not explaining this well but my pdf url is:

http://rescuerelationship.info/MagicOfMakingUp.pdf

instead of it just being hosted - how - when people click on this link can i get a "save" window pop up asking the surfer to open or save this file?

How is this done - thanks guys,,..

 

The easy way is to put the pdf in a zip file.
Another option would be to use the following PHP code:

<?php   if (isset($_GET['file'])) {
 	$file = $_GET['file']
 		if (file_exists($file) && is_readable($file) && preg_match('/\.pdf$/',$file))  {
 			header('Content-type: application/pdf');
  			header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
	 			readfile($file);
 		}
 	} else {
 	header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
 	echo "<h1>Error 404: File Not Found: <br /><em>$file</em></h1>";
 }
 ?>

PHP:

Save this little snippet as a PHP file somewhere on your server and you can use it to make a file download in the browser, rather than display directly.
If you want to serve files other than PDF, remove or edit line 5.

You can use it like so;

Add the following link to your HTML file.
<a href="download.php?file=my_pdf_file.pdf">Download the cool PDF.</a>

 

thnks for the code..

 

I don't think it's good to force people to download pdf files to their PCs
