    You have to Zip the pdf, upload it to your server, then link to it from a button. If you simply link to the pdf file, the plugin associated with it, Acrobat Reader, will just open to show it. Using a Zip file extension is recognized by the browser to open the Download and Save window. The button code looks like this;

    on(release){
    getURL("http://www.yoursite.com/pdffile1.zip");
    }

    You'll have to use WinZip, which has a trial period. Or search Google for some free software.
