Download not open .PDF

[mike]

I have several files on my site I would like to have downloadable. Most are in pdf form. If I provide links to a client with Acrobat, the file opens instead of simply downloading. I know the client can right click the link and choose "save target as".
That's too difficult. There must be a better way?

Mike,

You can always place the .pdf in a zip file for them to download, so it won't execute.

I know a .zip or .rar file will work, but then the client must have Acrobat and Winzip. I was hoping there would be some sort of scripting that would force the download.
