If your asset is residing under /content/dam/downloads/name/name.pdf then you can use download attribute.It download the file instead of opening it.

<a href="https://forums.adobe.com/content/dam/downloads/name/name.pdf" download="xyz"> Click here </a> will download the PDF.

Note: The download attribute is currently not supported in IE (see http://caniuse.com/#search=download%20attribute), it is only supported by firefox, chrome and the latest version of blackberry's browser.

<a href="https://forums.adobe.com/content/dam/downloads/name/name.pdf"> Click here </a> will open the PDF for you .

To download PDF , you may have to write a separate logic because usually all browsers give you an option to save the PDF to you local.
