Re: Open a .pdf in a new window

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

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't trying to make you eat any words...I
just thought perhaps I was unaware of some setting or something. Oh and by
the way, I find a good pale ale helps me eat my words, but I suppose you
prefer a good Chianti <g>

In practice, I always right click and download pdf files anyway, and even
right click any link and open in a new window or tab when I want to make
sure I don't loose the page I am viewing.

I think I have to eat my words;

If I'm at a website and click on a link that brings up a pdf it replaces
what was in the browser window. To get back to the website previously
displayed, I would click on the back arrow.

OK, so you are saying that while you do have the option of installing the
pdf plugin, you don't have the option of setting it to open in a new
window, correct? In that case you would have to modify the link to open
in a new window...I think ;-)

later...DavidF

During the install of PDF-Viewer you can check a box to have files open
in the browser. And after opening the file you can, if wanted save the
pdf file.

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...
