I am trying to develop a functionality and I need to offer user a PDF to download. I am able to do in successfully to some extend, like user will get a email with download link like
http://www.abc.com/balbla.pdf
But this is opening up the PDF in the browser window, I am thinking of offering a way so that when user click on the link he/she should be prompt to save it using standard save/save as box
How can this be done in WordPress?
You control this with the headers, have a look at this answer for a wordpress style of doing it: How can I force a file download in the WordPress backend?
Otherwise you use your webserver to force-download pdf:s, but the above example might be what you were searching for.
