This is the snippet of code that actually does part of the PDF download:


$query = "select pdf,pdftype,pdfsize from project where projectid=$id"; 

$result = @MYSQL_QUERY($query);

                $data = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0, "pdf"); 
                $type = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0, "pdftype");
                $size = @MYSQL_RESULT($result,0, "pdfsize");
                Header("Content-Length: $size");
                Header("Content-type: $type");
                Header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=project".$id.".pdf");
                echo $data;

You can use the actual true content type from the stored image, and send
the 'Content-Disposition' header to send the file as an attachment, which 
should ask for open/save with the default name of 'filename='

Hope this helps.
