How do I make a button that when clicked downloads a PDF?

you would like it to actually ASK them to dl it or to just have them view it in a new window?

Viewing in a new window would be the same as a typical getURL script but with .pdf as the extention of course 😉

NO i think I would like for it to automatically download when the button is clicked.
