How do I create .pdf download?

Hi<br />
<br />
I would like users to be able to Download <!--more--> .pdf files from my site to their 'My Documents' folder. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do this.<br />
<br />
I've created links to word documents previously, where the document opens inside IE, however I would prefer a dialogue box that defaults to My Documents giving the user the option to Download <!--more--> to a different location if they want to. I realise that a link <a href etc.... will still have the save option but I'd rather make it smoother.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for any help.<!--content-->Take a look at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.infinitypages.com/research/Download">http://www.infinitypages.com/research/Download</a><!-- m --> <!--more-->.htm.<!--content-->Once again, PHP rears it's head! I figure I'm going to have to learn it.....whether I like it or not!<br />
<br />
I thought this was something that could be done with HTML alone.....silly me, things are never as simple as I hope!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot, it doesn't seem to be that difficult and I'm sure if I encounter any problems you'll hear from me again in the PHP forum!!<br />

AddType application/octet-stream pdf<!--content-->
