@Sergey Gornostaev ‘s code just work perfect, but i post below my code because it is a aproach in a differect way.

I correct a little bit my code:

def DownloadPdf(request):
    path_to_file = '/home/USER/PycharmProjects/MyProject/media /Invoice_Template.pdf'
    f = open(path_to_file, 'r')
    myfile = File(f)
    response = HttpResponse(myfile, content_type='application/pdf')
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=filename'
    return response

But only in pdf file ( works with txt files ) gives me that error:

‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xe2 in position 10
