What do I need to do to have a user download a PDF rather than have it open in a new window when a link is clicked.

Here's some INFO about creating zip files for download and some widgets to make it easier.

PDFs will be either opened in a user's browser or downloaded based on how they have configured their own desired behaviour for their web browser. The default is to open it in a new window. A website cannot change this behaviour for everyone.

As Roddy suggested, using a .zip file for the PDFs will force the browser to download it.
