I'm not sure, based on your broken english, what you're trying to do.

You have a form that the user fills out.  Then clicks SUBMIT.

And you want that form to download a PDF file to the user's browser?  Or 
do you want to display a page that has a link where the user can 
download the PDF file?  Or something else?

Doing an automatic download is pretty simple once php has control of 
interaction, which it will after you click SUBMIT.  Send the proper 
header, mime-type, then open the PDF file you want to send and output it 
to the browser as a binary file.
