How to Make WordPress PDFs Prompt iPhone for Download

If you have a WordPress website and you want your PDFs to prompt iPhone users for download instead of displaying them in the browser, you can follow these simple steps.

First, you need to modify the .htaccess file on your server. You can do this by using an FTP client to access your server files. Locate your .htaccess file in the root directory of your WordPress site and open it for editing.

Next, add the following code to the file:

```apache

Force download for PDF files

ForceType application/octet-stream Header set Content-Disposition attachment ```

Save the changes to your .htaccess file and close it.

Now, upload the PDF file to your WordPress site and create a link to it on your site. When an iPhone user clicks on the link, the PDF file will now prompt for download instead of displaying it in the browser.

This method also works for other file types. Simply change the file extension in the code to the desired extension.

In conclusion, it is simple to modify your WordPress site to prompt iPhone users to download PDF files. Just follow these quick steps to make it happen.
