Hi Satya,

I have used download=1 with copy link url it's working fine for all the documents expect pdf, for the pdf and png files its opening instead of downloading.

The copy link url will be like below for me

You can try this

You should be able to add the query string parameter `Web=0'

For sharepoint:

Option 1: Use the format: https://.sharepoint.com/sites//_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl=
E.g. https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/legal/_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl=https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/Legal/Documents/Compliance-Manual.pdf
When a user clicks on the link, It downloads the file instead of open!
Option 2: Use to "Copy link" Option to get the link to document and append "&download=1"
Just navigate to the document library where your documents are located, Select the file and click on "Copy link" button in the ribbon >> Copy the URL and append "&download=1" to it.
E.g. https://crescent.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/legal/ECm5WU0-3ohOo2n8-q5GQG4Bar33Prunsg4g9QvAPu3cRQ?e=UPMiz5&download=1
