If you want to display a (new) page AND prompt the user to download the
pdf this can only be done using a meta-trick or javascript, both have
nothing to do with php, so if you want to go that route ask in alt.html or
comp.lang.javascript respectively.

That said, serving a pdf with php is one of the examples in the header()
function page in the manual:

My new ISP's newsserver sucks. Anyone recommend a good one? Paying for
quality is certainly an option.

You can't because you cannot guarantee that the user has a program on
their machine with which to open a pdf file.
