Found this while trying to do the same. https://davidsimpson.me/2013/05/19/using-mpdf-with-codeigniter/

In place of redirect() function used on the page, you can use the code below to force download. Note that redirect() will only open the file in some browsers like chrome.

$this->load->helper('download');

$data = file_get_contents(base_url("downloads/reports/$filename.pdf")); // Read the file's contents
$name = 'mynewfile.pdf';

force_download($name, $data);

Don't forget to add the .pdf extension to $name
