[html] Opening a new tab to read a PDF file

I am probably missing something simple here, however i will ask anyway. I have made a link to open up a PDF file, however it opens up in the current tab rather than a new one. What code shall i use in HTML to open a new tab to read the PDF file.

<div class="footer_box_content">
    <div class="cleaner_h10"></div>
    <p>Many  thanks  to  everyone  who cleared snow and ice during the cold spell in February.
    Should Arctic conditions return, each block has a shovel and a jar of rock salt  to  clear  the  steps. 
    Please click more to read the full newsletter.</p>
    <div class="button_01"><a href="newsletter_01.pdf">Read more</a></div>
</div>

Use the below attribute in tag to open it in next tab

target="_blank"

Will open your pdf in a new tab with pdf viewer and can download too

<a className=""
   href="/project_path_to_your_pdf_asset/failename.pdf"
   target="_blank"
>
   View PDF
</a>

You have to use target attribute

<a href="newsletter_01.pdf" target="_blank">

Try this, it worked for me.

<td><a href="Docs/Chapter 1_ORG.pdf" target="pdf-frame">Chapter-1 Organizational</a></td>

On Chrome this has proven to work well for me.

<a href="newsletter_01.pdf" target="_new">Read more</a>

<a href="newsletter_01.pdf" target="_blank">Read more</a>

Target _blank will force the browser to open it in a new window

Just use target on your tag <a>

<a href="newsletter_01.pdf" target="_blank">Read more</a>

The target attribute specifies where to open the link. Using "_blank" will make your browser to open a new window/tab.

You could also use target in many ways. See http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp

Change the <a> tag like this:

<a href="newsletter_01.pdf" target="_blank">

You can find more about the target attribute here.

As everyone else has pointed out, this can work:

<a href="newsletter_01.pdf" target="_blank">Read more</a> 

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:

1. Ask for action
2. Open it in Adobe Acrobat
3. 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.
