   In a template which I've made, I want to add the ability to force a download (so that it gives the user the option to open the file or save the file).

   Now I have linked this page as
   

   <a href="resumepdf"> </a>

   Now in the resumepdf.php
   

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: ResumePdf
   */
   ?>

   and then I have

   <?php
       header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=resumepdf.pdf');
       header('Content-type: application/pdf');
       readfile("echo bloginfo('template_directory');/about/resume/resumepdf.pdf");
       ?>

   But while the size of the pdf is about 270KB , the size of the downloaded pdf is just 5kb.

   Can someone give me the correct way to force download in the template. Btw to embed pdf this works
   <embed src= "<?php echo bloginfo('template_directory');?>/about/resume/resume.pdf"/>

   I even uploaded the pdf as a media file, and then tried to replace the readfile line as

   readfile("http://precisely.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/resumepdf.pdf");

   But even this download a corrupted file with the wrong file size.
