I fell into exactly this same hole earlier today in fact.  I'm not 
exactly sure why this is set in the stash rather than the template, or 
why the template setting seems to be ignored (or something). I've not 
had the time to investigate further... but from the docs...

$ perldoc Catalyst::View::PDF::Reuse
<snip>
The filename and content disposition (inline or attachment) can be
controlled by putting the following values in the stash:

$c->stash->{pdf_disposition} = 'attachment';  # Default is 'inline'
$c->stash->{pdf_filename}    = 'myfile.pdf';
</snip>
