"Save As" php function Dreamweaver CS6

Question

Does anyone know off the top of their head what code I'd use to make a .pdf document "savable"? I have a small image that, when clicked, want the user to be prompted the options to OPEN or SAVE AS a .pdf document. I believe it's a .php function, learned it a while ago, now I forgot and can't seem to find it online anywhere. Thanks to all.

Yeah.  If you want to force a download, logo will link to a PHP script that contains the URL to your PDF file.  This has the side effect of hiding your file's location on the server.
<?php
// This short script forces a file download.
// full server path to file to be downloaded (including filename)
$Path2File = "../folder/your_resume.pdf";
// the filename
$theFileName = "your_resume.pdf";
//the work gets done here
header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Length: " . filesize($Path2File));
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$theFileName");
readfile($Path2File);
?>
