Try this:

MIDL

string Filename= MapPath("document.pdf");
// This is an important header part that informs the client to download this file.
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + Path.GetFileName(Filename))
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
//Write the file directly to the HTTP content output stream.
Response.WriteFile(Filename);

Good luck!
