Thanks for the attempt Simon, but your code only displayed gibberish.
While looking around again for help, I found this and it works perfectly:

<?php
session_start();
//
//  Specify the name of the pdf here and the folder
//
$pdfname='VFD_ByLaws.pdf';
$path='/pdfs/';
//
//  the rest will handle the displaying
//
header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Location:$path$pdfname");
?>

I may not be fully understanding this, but if you set a Location: header, the other headers you've set don't matter at all, since the client will merely redirect to the page specified by the Location: header.
