Problem dowloading a pdf file through browser using javascript

Question

I have to present for an exam a portfolio which allows visitors to download some documentations about my projects as pdf files.

I tried using an tag with a "download" attribute, unfortunately when I try to download the file by clicking on the link, the file is proposed to be recorded as .html or all files.
