Force Open/Save dialog for inline PDF?

Question

I'm wondering if it is possible to force an Open/Save dialog for an inline PDF?

I have a link that opens a new window with an inline PDF in it. I was able to prompt the dialog by changing registry settings, but only if I changed my preferences in Adobe Reader (Internet > uncheck 'Display PDF in Browser'). So basically if the PDF is opening in Reader I can get a dialog.. but is this possible for inline PDFs? Thanks everyone.

You need to change "Content-disposition" attribute of the header of your http respose accordingly.
