Open PDF document…

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 27.2005

I’m curious to see what some of you feel is the most correct way to open a pdf document for viewing from within a web browser. I have looked all over the internet and it appears there are many ways to go about it. However, at this particular time (with current browsers) what is the best way (least likely to get pop-up-blocked) way to open a PDF link the user clicks on in a new window for them to view?

Thanks,

Rex

@CharlesMay 27.2005 — <a href="some-document.pdf" type="application/pdf">Some PDF Document</a>From there the user can and will dedcide just how to view, save or ignore the document.

@code-frogauthorMay 27.2005 — Okay, so you would not open it in a new window then either. Correct? From what I've read and what I'm understanding pushing stuff into a new window is not considered proper etiquette. Would you agree or disagree?

    @CharlesMay 27.2005 — Very much so. You couldn't open a new window on my browser if you tried.
