It is clear now,You can achieve this by dowloading as attachments.

 

Here is asome sample codes.

 

We assume that ur Visualforce name is "CrtPage".

PageREference CertPage=Page.CrtPage;

 

Attachment att=new Attachment();

att.body=CertPage.getContent();

att.Name="SampleNAme";

att.IsPrivate=false;

insert att;

PageReference DownloadPage=new PageReference('/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file='+att.Id);

 

return DownloadPage;

System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING, Required fields are missing: [Parent]: [Parent]

Thats my missing,you have to set Parent Id in attachments object.

I can explain the parent Id like this:

 

Parent Id links the whose attachment this is.

 

For example. My account.nAme: Test

Account.Id: 'ab5949aasldlad8';

 

Attachment.ParentId=Account.Id;

Please use document with same logic.You dont need to set a field like a parent Id for document object.
