Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

I'm sure this has been answered before but apparently I am not searching the right way for it.

How do I force the download button to save a PDF file to the user's computer instead of opening in the browser?

Hi
In Config - Downloads Tab there is an option "Which file types are to be opened in the Browser?"
This usually has pdf in the list just edit out pdf,
