correct PHP headers for pdf file download

by

Example 2 on w3schools shows what you are trying to achieve.

<?php
header("Content-type:application/pdf");

// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename="downloaded.pdf"");

// The PDF source is in original.pdf
readfile("original.pdf");
?>

Also remember that,

It is important to notice that header() must be called before any
actual output is sent (In PHP 4 and later, you can use output
buffering to solve this problem)
