Force a File to Download Instead of Showing Up in the Browser

  • I want to initiate the download of a file with the click of the SUBMIT.
    I added the following code to the Additional Settings:
    on_sent_ok: “location = ‘https://www.filename.pdf’;”

    I want to force the file to download, instead of showing in the browser and I am not able to resolve this. I added the following code to the htaccess file and nothing… it still opens the file with the pdf viewer:

    <FilesMatch “\.(?i:pdf)$”>
    ForceType application/octet-stream
    Header set Content-Disposition attachment
    </FilesMatch>

    I am 100% sure this has nothing to do with my desktop, since I am able to download pdf files from many sources without viewing them.

    What am I missing here? Any ideas would be welcome!
