As everyone else has pointed out  this can work    lt a href  newsletter 01 pdf  target   blank  gt Read more lt  a gt     But what nobody has pointed out is that it s not guaranteed to work   There is no way to force a user s browser to open a PDF file in a new tab  Depending on the user s browser settings  even with target   blank  the browser may react the following ways     Ask for action Open it in  Adobe Acrobat Simply download the file directly to their computer   Take a look at Firefox s settings  for example     Chrome has a similar setting     If the user has chosen to  Save File  in their browsers settings when encountering a PDF  there is no way you can override it
