How do I get a PDF to open in a New Window?

[jasont83729219]

Hi there!

I'm working on a course where the user needs to be able to open a PDF by clicking a button.

Using the "Open URL or file" action, I can get it to open the proper file. However when it does this it opens it in the same window that the course is in. You can get back to the course using the "Back" button on the browser, but that restarts the entire course.

I know with javascript I can have it open URLs in new windows/tabs. Is there a way to do the same for a PDF?

Thanks in advance!

Do younsee that tiny arrow to the right? Open it and you can choose to show

in a new window.

I'm sorry, I don't see what you're talking about. Would you send a screen shot? Thanks!

Thank you so much! I am brand new to Captivate and was looking in the completely wrong place.
