Whoooooooa.. you're working way too hard.
class MyPage extends Page
{
static $has_one = array ('PDF' => 'File');
public function getCMSFields() {
$f = parent:: getCMSFields();
$f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.PDF", new FileIFrameField('PDF'));
return $f;
}
}Template:
<a href="$PDF.URL" title="Download $PDF.Title">Download ($PDF.Filesize)</a>

Safari will do that because it has native PDF support. Firefox and most other browsers will force a download. Otherwise, just right click and do a save as.
I really don't thinkit's necessary to start throwing HTTP headers for a PDF download, but if you really want to do it, here are some tips.
Your function isn't working because you keep passing it the PDF_file object rather than its URL property.
Your link isn't working because you're trying to use a template function to accomplish a controller level task. Run the pdf function as an action on the controller
<a href="$Link(pdf)">
That will return /current-url-segment/pdf and run your function in the controller.

Theres already a method for sending files to a browser that will simplify what you're trying to do here - just use something like
class Page extends SiteTree {
public static $has_one = array (
'PDF' => 'File'
);
// ...
}class Page_Controller extends ContentController {
public function pdf() {
return HTTPResponse::send_file(file_get_contents($this->PDF()->URL), 'myfile.pdf');
}
}in your controller, and you can do something like this in your template (this will force a download):
<a href="$Link(pdf)">Download the PDF File ($PDF.Filesize)</a>

Posting here for future searchers.
Forcing a file download dialog:
Not sure if this is kosher but seems to work, file size is the same from one on disk uploaded to CMS and then downloaded again this way. Only tested on FF3.5/OSX. Would be interested in improvements. Use at your own risk.
Rough idea, it's late.
function PhotoDownload() {
$id = Director::urlParam('ID');
if ($id) {//INSERT SECURITY CODE HERE SO THEY CAN'T HACK THE URL ID FOR DIFFERENT FILES
//get a File object or subclass of (e.g. Image)
$image = DataObject::get_by_id("Image",$id);$path = $image->getFullPath();
$name = basename($path);
$response = new HttpResponse();
$response->setBody(file_get_contents($path));
$response->addHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=" . $name);
return $response;
} else {
return false;
}
}Call this function in your template, i.e. <a href="$Link(PhotoDownload)/$ID">Download</a>

}....
}

send_file() is a function on HTTPRequest not HTTPResponse. Or as of 2.4 its SS_HTTPRequest.
