I’m not sure if I am fighting with something impossible in PHP
I was trying to redirect and download or download and redirect, but either doesn’t work.
After the user download the PDF, I want to redirect back to the main page
I’ve tried
header("Location: https://www.main-page.com");
return Response::download($file,"file.pdf", $headers);
Ex
https://www.main-page.com/pdf (show download PDF and return back to the main page)

In this case you need to implement a pdf reader inside your webpage then you give your user the way to go backward to the main domain.
you can try this
Response::download($file,"file.pdf", $headers); return redirect("path location you want to redirect");
