Is there a way one can specify the text for the pdf instead of mentioning file path?
I need to create pdf from a div html but I don't wish to open another window,download should be seemless like in this answer.. As right now August , Browser support seems to be enhanced for this feature, see: w3schools. Note that the download attribute is only supported for same-origin requests. This is only possible with setting a http response header by the server side code. Apache example. Flask example. Unfortunately iOS will still preview and not download pdf files even if the content disposition is 'attachment'.

This markup is easier to understand and is supported by all modern browsers, but may not be supported by all content management systems.
If for whatever reason, you cannot add the download attribute in the case that you cannot directly edit the HTML of your web page , you can optionally compress the file using zip, and instruct the user to download the zip file. You can alternatively explain to the user that they should right click on the link and select download.
If you have no other alternatives to force the file to download, you can host it on a file hosting service such as Google Docs. The most common file types that are affected by this behavior are PDF files and images. Firefox 31 is not converting or renaming your files. All it is doing is registering with the Windows OS as an application that is able to open the files and Windows then changes the file's icons accordingly. I right clicked on one of my pdf files that was labeled Firefox html document with the intention of using the "Open with The "Open with" option was not visible.
This particular file was in my "Scansnap" folder, a folder used by my Scansnap scanner to drop pdf files into. Magically, that file and every other pdf on my computer including those in my Scansnap folder was relabeled as Adobe pdf with the Adobe icon.
They now open with Adobe Reader and Firefox does not open when I click on them. Problem Solved. Thank you. Note that on Window XP you may have to hold down the Shift key while right-clicking to make the "Open with" option appear in the context menu. Thanks Robinson3! The most economical solution.
