For my website I have created a view, where with the help of "Views Bulk Operations" a user can check some entities and with the help of 3d party library (PDFMerger) the pdf files, related to the selected nodes get merged. Now I need to initiate a download of the "merged file".



The merged file is located into following directory:



$pdf->merge('file', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/sites/all/files/pdf/Merge007.pdf");


In the documentation it is written that replacement of 'file' to 'download' should initiate the download, but it doesnt't. Could you please help me?
