Download File after submission in Contact Form 7 Wordpress


I am trying to make one form which give functionality like when user enter name and email,then PDF file starts download automatically.

And while i am applying this code in additional setting tab on submit button,it replay the error message like this.

I am currently working in local machine, i know error is in contact form 7 mail tab,but don't know how to fix it?

"There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later."

Here is my contact form 7 code:

<label> Name
    [text* your-name] </label>

<label> Email 
    [email* your-email] </label>

[submit "Download Now"]

Here is code that i write in Additional Setting for download PDF file directly when form is submitted

on_sent_ok: "location = 'http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/pdf-sample.pdf';"
