Does anyone know how to stop PDFs opening in the browser window when you click on a link to them? I want the user to download the files to their computer, not open them.

Unfortunately, the user determines what application is used to open a file format and you cannot control this but there is an extension available that forces a download....

here is a link to it, i have used it quite a few times in the past.

Thanks Vince. I'll check out the extension. I did a bit more googling and found the following code which seems to be having the desired effect, but I haven't had time to test it in a variety of browsers yet. I would be grateful of your opinion.

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" content-disposition: attachment; filename="file.pdf"</font id=code></pre id=code>

Ah, the extension is for ASP and I use PHP. Never mind.
