Open PDF in new Window

[tazznchop]

I am trying to get a PDF to open in a window on a button click. I can get it to open in the same window.

From some reading is the only way to do this is with java or can it be done with action script????

Try using "_blank" as the target, after the page address.

What Dyon said:

myBtn_btn.onRelease = function(){
      getURL("http://www.url.com/file.pdf", "_blank");
}

Guys "_blank" will open the the PDf in new window where as he wants it to open in the same window.

myBtn_btn.onRelease = function(){
      getURL("http://www.url.com/file.pdf", "_self");
} 

also test the movie from IE browser.

From what I gathered from his post, he CAN get it to open in the same window

I can get it to open in the same window.

so I assumed that when he said

I am trying to get a PDF to open in a window on a button click

that he meant he was trying to get the PDF to open in to a new browser/tab.
