What do you want it to do?

If you want the browser to display the file as PDF i.e. use a plugin if 
it has a plugin, then you should keep the Content-Type application/pdf 
and omit the Content-Disposition.

If you want the browser to treat the file as unknown i.e. display a 
download box, then you should change the Content-Type to 
application/octet-stream and the Content-Disposition to

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="attachment.pdf"

At least that works for me.
