Use Response.Writefile to output the PDF file.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwebhttpresponseclasswritefiletopic.asp
Then add a line of code like this:
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=myfile.pdf");
The "attachment" specification requests the browser to download the file
instead of opening it. But ultimately it is up to the browser and the user
to decide what they want to do with the file; you don't have 100% control of
this from the server.
