    Greetings,

    I've been trying to find this solution. I know it is out there, but I haven't been able to find it.

    I need to require all pdf files to be prompted to SAVE AS instead of being able to open in the browser window.

    I believe this is an .htaccess fix, but can't find it.

    Thanks,

    Jon

    You can force a download by messing with the headers that it sends. [search=google]force download php header[/search]
