I am asking this question for my brother so bare with me. He wants to allow a user to hit a download button and they can receive a pdf file. I have seen it done just can't remember how the coding is. Is their anything special that has to be done or is this just a link to a pdf form? Any info will help.

You are correct. Enter the text download.pdf, then highlight the text and then (if you use frontpage) insert hyperlink and select the file.
Hope this helps

colbtech and rickj are absolutely correct from a server standpoint. However, the browser could be configured to open the file in the browser window or download the file. You can't do much about that from the server side.
