    The comments are correct, this has nothing to do with any server-side language, so i’ll try to give you directions on how to solve this instead:

    A very common solution is that you do not return the PDF directly, but a HTML page that says something like “Your download will begin shortly”. This page can use a link or a bit of javascript to open the PDF file in a new browser window. After that the page can remain open or automatically redirect elsewhere.
