Try this. When you click on the button call a route and a method then use this code. You can change directory path.

public function getDownload()
{
  //PDF file is stored under project/public/download/info.pdf
  $file= public_path(). "/download/info.pdf";

  $headers = array(
          'Content-Type: application/pdf',
        );

    return Response::download($file, 'filename.pdf', $headers);
}

Just a small addition, if you are using an IDE the following will prevent any squarks return response()->download($file, 'filename.pdf' ,$headers);
