Note Submitter: michal dot kocarek at seznam dot cz ---- Notice the differences between following headers 1.) <? header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="presentation.pdf"'); ?> 2.) <? header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="presentation.pdf"'); ?> The second one FORCES the browser (IE, for ex.) to show [Save File As...] dialog. In this (M$ PowerP. Presentation presentation) case, when I click on [Open] button in the dialog, it opens the program and presentation for edit). The first one allows browser to display file "inline". In this case, presentation is displayed on the screen without opening M$ PowerP. Browser does not show [Save File As...] dialog. Note that you need to send proper headers to browser too. Best practice to force browser to show [Save File As...] dialog is this: <? header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="presentation.pdf"'); ?>
