OK what you are doing now is telling the browser to display the content,
and because you do not have a 'viewer' for text files they have to be
downloaded, but I presume that the pdf is actually being displayed
within the browser? So you have a plugin to display pdf files loaded
which means that the file does not have to be downloaded.
