I tried this code

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
 
// It will be called downloaded.pdf

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="book.pdf"');
 
// The PDF source is in original.pdf

readfile('book.pdf');

but in the browser it shows only some garbage values.
