Re: Open a .pdf in a new window

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi Don,

I haven't used your viewer, but with the Adobe Reader and the one I use now,
FoxIt Reader, they both have a browser plug in or add on. This means that if
you click on a link to a PDF file from a web page the pdf file automatically
opens in that browser window. You don't get the option to save the file to
your computer by simply clicking the link, as you would for a Publisher
file, or a zip file for example, which do not have a browser plug in. So my
thinking was that you can write the link to the pdf file such that it will
open in a new window using the methods we discuss regularly here in the
group...upload the pdf file to a download folder, write the link to that
folder, and then modify that link so it opens in a new window.

Are you saying that you can set the options in PDF-Viewer to open a pdf file
in a new window automatically? I don't think you have that option with the
Adobe Reader or FoxIt. Or did I totally miss your point?

David,

Isn't opening a pdf file in a new browser window a function of the pdf
reader? Seems it is with PDF-Viewer, the one I use.

Good day all...little new to the whole website design and am having some
issues with a .pdf file opening in a new window instead of the existing
window. I haven't published the website as yet, just getting some of
the
bugs out first. Any help would be much appreciated...
