Apache's mod_rewrite can solve this.

I have a web service with an endpoint at /foo/getDoc.service. Of course Acrobat will save files as getDoc.pdf. I added the following lines in apache.conf:

LoadModule     RewriteModule         modules/mod_rewrite.so
RewriteEngine  on
RewriteRule    ^/foo/getDoc/(.*)$    /foo/getDoc.service     [P,NE]

Now when I request /foo/getDoc/filename.pdf?bar&qux, it gets internally rewritten to /foo/getDoc.service?bar&qux, so I'm hitting the correct endpoint of the web service, but Acrobat thinks it will save my file as filename.pdf.
