Force PDF download instead of showing it...

I'm working on a mobile version of our website for iPhone, Blackberry and Android. The iPhone is perfect because I can just show the PDF in a web page like I do on a regular browser. Blackberry and Android devices are kind of a pain because they don't support in-browser PDF reading. You have to save them and read them with a third party PDF reader.

The problem is that by using the method in Jonathan Stark's book (pdf.php?-url="pdf field information" then $fm->getContainerData($_GET["-url"])Wink you show a PDF, so the Blackberry and Android just fail when I click on my link.

Is there a way to actually force the saving of a PDF instantly by clicking on a link? It would also be useful for Firefox Mac, which also doesn't have a built-in PDF reader.

Thanks!
