Generate PDF and download in one click

Question

I have a process model that generates a PDF. Is it possible to create a button in an interface that runs the process and then downloads the PDF to the user in one click?

Harshitha is correct, there is no plausible one-click solution, in particular as file download functionality is always walled off from funcitonality that could run appian background process(es) to do any sort of document generation. 
 Generally I always suggest that this is more of an issue of expectations-setting on the side of the users / customer / client / etc, than a shortcoming of Appian.
