Turn off any download manager software installed on your system. When you try to read the pdf the download manager will take it over to download it.

Change your ActionMethod to this - 

  public ActionResult GetPdf(string fileName)
        {
            string filePath = "~/file/" + fileName;
            Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + fileName);
            return File(filePath, "application/pdf");
        }

Note the change of Response.Headers.Add to Response.AddHeader
