Make doc,docx,pdf file download on link click?

I have a record of about 500 resume.I have created a table using foreach.
This is how it looks like:

If you see the resume column,it has the file path. I want to replace this
path with a link having short custom name which downloads the pdf,doc or
docx file on click of it.
How do I do this?
My Code:
echo '<table border="1">';
echo
'<tr><th>SrNo</th><th>EMAIL</th><th>MOBILE</th><th>ANSWER</th><th>DATE</th>';
if (is_array($a)) {
foreach($a as $id = > $item) {
echo
'<tr><td>'.$item['fl_id'].'</td><td>'.$item['fl_email'].'</td><td>'.$item['fl_mobile'].'</td><td>'.$item['fl_answer'].'</td><td>'.
$item['fl_date'].'</td>';
}
}
echo '</table>';
