header('Pragma: public');
//header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
readfile($file);

header('Location:login.php');

You need %{QUERY_STRING} variable inside a RewriteCond for that checking for redirect like this.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !(^|&)down=true($|&)
RewriteRule example\.com\/upload\/file\.pdf /index.php [L]
if your RewiteCond has a down=true in the query string, then do not apply the following rule,else rewrites all request to /index.php
