Force to open “Save As…” popup open at text link click for PDF in HTML

Question

I have some big size PDF catalogs at my website, and I need to link these as download. When I googled, I found such a thing noted below. It should open the \"Save As

Answer 1

I had this same issue and found a solution that has worked great so far. You put the following code in your .htaccess file:

  ForceType application/octet-stream
  Header set Content-Disposition attachment

It came from Force a File to Download Instead of Showing Up in the Browser.
