Hai,
first convert ur internal table data to  OTF.by usinf thid Function Module
data: t_otf LIKE itcoo OCCURS 100 WITH HEADER LINE,
t_pdf LIKE tline OCCURS 100 WITH HEADER LINE*.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
  EXPORTING
   format                      = 'PDF'
  MAX_LINEWIDTH               = 132
  ARCHIVE_INDEX               = ' '
  COPYNUMBER                  = 0
  ASCII_BIDI_VIS2LOG          = ' '
  PDF_DELETE_OTFTAB           = ' '
IMPORTING
   BIN_FILESIZE                = w_size
  BIN_FILE                    =
  TABLES
    otf                         = t_otf
    lines                       = t_pdf
EXCEPTIONS
   ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH           = 1
   ERR_FORMAT                  = 2
   ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE       = 3
   ERR_BAD_OTF                 = 4
   OTHERS                      = 5
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
   RAISE error.  " oops
  ENDIF.
and then use gui_download  function module.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
  EXPORTING
   BIN_FILESIZE                  =  w_size
    filename                      =  'C:\Documents and Settings\adc\Desktop\pdf123.pdf'
   FILETYPE                      = 'BIN'
  APPEND                        = ' '
  WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR         = 'X'
  HEADER                        = '00'
  TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS         = ' '
  WRITE_LF                      = 'X'
  COL_SELECT                    = 'X'
  COL_SELECT_MASK               = 'XX X XX'
  DAT_MODE                      = ' '
  CONFIRM_OVERWRITE             = ' '
  NO_AUTH_CHECK                 = ' '
  CODEPAGE                      = ' '
  IGNORE_CERR                   = ABAP_TRUE
  REPLACEMENT                   = '#'
  WRITE_BOM                     = ' '
IMPORTING
  FILELENGTH                    =
  tables
    data_tab                      =   t_pdf
EXCEPTIONS
   FILE_WRITE_ERROR              = 1
   NO_BATCH                      = 2
   GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER       = 3
   INVALID_TYPE                  = 4
   NO_AUTHORITY                  = 5
   UNKNOWN_ERROR                 = 6
   HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED            = 7
   SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED         = 8
   FILESIZE_NOT_ALLOWED          = 9
   HEADER_TOO_LONG               = 10
   DP_ERROR_CREATE               = 11
   DP_ERROR_SEND                 = 12
   DP_ERROR_WRITE                = 13
   UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR              = 14
   ACCESS_DENIED                 = 15
   DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY              = 16
   DISK_FULL                     = 17
   DP_TIMEOUT                    = 18
   FILE_NOT_FOUND                = 19
   DATAPROVIDER_EXCEPTION        = 20
   CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR           = 21
   OTHERS                        = 22
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
