link to pdf.

[JC_33]

Using Dreamweaver in hyperlink preferences I've set Target to "_blank", the results are that the user is asked to save the pdf.

I want it to open automatically in Adobe browser. Now I read this needs to be set in Acrobat when creating the pdf. Is this correct? No Acrobat here for me to test...Thank you..

The user will not only get a download dialog, but also a totally useless
empty window. You should remove the 'target' attribute.

It's a local browser setup.

No. It doesn't matter how and where the PDF was created. But the users
needs to have a PDF viewer and a PDF browser plugin installed on their
machine in order to open the PDF in the browser. You can't control that,
so simply link to the file and let the browsers handle the rest.

Which issue? To whom are you responding?

There really is no issue to solve. Just link to the PDF, that's all you
can do.

hi yea,
if your pages are of asp type then this is a good free tool

http://www.tom-muck.com/extensions/help/ForceDownload/

force download will do as it says, your customer clicks the link and they
are given the option of downloading the pdf, I have found in the past if i
had a big pdf and explore was trying to open it the screen seems to kinda
freeze thus using this extension resolved that.
