I would like to download an HTML file, let's say test1.pdf. Here's what I have right now:

<a href="https://-----/test1.pdf" download>download </a>

How can I make it so that it can download as test2.pdf?

    Is that just a static file or do you have some server logic behind it? You can give alternate download filenames with a Content-Disposition header, but probably not just configuring it in HTML. – Rup Oct 07 '20 at 19:52

You can suggest a filename for the browser to use when saving the file in the value of the download attribute.

<a href="https://-----/test1.pdf" download="test2.pdf">download </a>

Try something like this. The download load attribute specify its a download and not a link.

<a href="/images/myw3schoolsimage.jpg" download="w3logo">

That's all you have to do.
