If the PDF file is hosted at client side itself, just use HTML download attribute on anchor element like below
<a href="/path/to/the/hosted/pdf/file.pdf" download>
Reference : download attribute

Not in client-side, it has hosted in server-side – Aruna Wijethunga Nov 02 '20 at 06:04

Even it from the server-side, the above code works. What is the file link address you are getting and assigning to href attribute of anchor? and also your website address? – Sivakumar Tadisetti Nov 02 '20 at 06:09

If the file is being opened in new tab, then download attribute works like instead of navigating to new page, just downloads it – Sivakumar Tadisetti Nov 02 '20 at 06:09

I think, that is because of cross origin sites issue. You can refer here for alternate solution https://stackoverflow.com/a/52466102/8593983 – Sivakumar Tadisetti Nov 02 '20 at 07:34
