in a website, if i make a link to a pdf file, on my mac with IE it opens the pdf in a new window in Explorer (don't know what happens with other os/browsers)
this is taking too much time opening acrobat viewer etc.
is there a way to start the download to disc on clicking the link to the pdf?

thats a mac IE problem, it doesnt happen in safari..
Some people make a .zip file of the pdf and link to it, so it download it straight to the hd

Isn't there a way of doing this with php? I've seen one that work with mp3s so I guess it can be done with pdfs too.
