Type Click Here to download the PDF to create a new hyperlink that downloads the PDF instead of opening it in the Web browser.
Replace "PDF_Name.pdf" with the name of the PDF if the file is in the same folder as the HTML file. If the PDF is in a different folder, use the full path to the file -- C:\Downloads\Sample.pdf, for example.
The download parameter forces the Web browser to download the file instead of opening it using the browser's integrated PDF viewer. You can type a meaningful name for the PDF, replacing "New PDF Name" -- the browser uses this name when it saves the file. Renaming is useful when your PDFs are generated automatically on the server and contain long, meaningless names.
Replace "Click Here to download the PDF" with your own anchor text, which is the visible, clickable part of the link.

Press Ctrl-S to save the changes to the Web page and then test the new hyperlink by opening the page in a Web browser. Click the new link and the browser prompts you to save the file.
By embedding the PDF file into the Web page, you display the contents of the file inside a container.
Open the PDF inside the Web browser by creating a hyperlink without the download parameter: Click Here. The Web browser opens the file using its built-in PDF viewer; it only prompts the visitor to download the file if the viewer is disabled or malfunctions.
