Are you trying to force them to DOWNLOAD the PDF, or do you want it to
open up in their PDF viewer of choice, often the embedded PDF viewer
of the browser?
If you want to force a download and get the filname right, read my rant.
If you want to just open the PDF up in the browser, lose the
Content-disposition attachment stuff, as that's a late-comer's way of
trying (and failing sometimes) to force a download.
