You want to use javascript to save the content from the url or JScript?

HTML

<a id="downloadLink" href="http://samplepdf.com/sample.pdf">sample pdf</a>
<input type="button" onclick="download()" value="download" />

JavaScript

function download(){
   //If the browser understands the content of the link it will display in a new tab else it will download
   link =document.createElement('a'); //create link
   link.href=document.getElementById('downloadLink').href;
   link.target='_blank';
   link.click(); //Click the link
   delete link;
}

All these steps can be avoided if somehow the download button can be removed.
then just the below code will do the magic. :)
