How to Download a PDF Attachment in formula field

Hi,
I have a formula field for Attachment as follows 
HYPERLINK('/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=' + Id, 'View',"_blank")

When the Attachment is of type .docx it downloads however when it is a PDF it opens in a new tab. Is it possible to make this happen. I've tried the settings in File Upload and Download Security also.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi John,

Do you see similar issue in another browser?  Are you using chrome?

Thanks,

Hi Vinay, yes using Chrome. I tried the chrome settings and this resolved the issue. Thanks
