Redirect with multiple headers

I am using a script to create PDF files. After creating the PDF file I want to redirect the user to anonther page.

When I run the script I only get the PDF file. The script is not redirecting me to another page.

Does someone know how I can redirect users to another page?

Here is my script:

    header("Content-type:application/pdf");
    header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=test.pdf");

    readfile('./temp/pdf/test.pdf');

    header("Location: http://www.example.com");
    die();

I have also tried to redirect with the meta refresh tag but the script is still not redirecting:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://www.example.com">

This is not possible with HTTP.

Instead, you should create the file, redirect the user, and then the web-page target of the redirection serves up the PDF response through a JavaScript redirection (PDFs generally cannot run JavaScript that interacts with the browser)
