Why dont you just use javascript to open a new window with the url to the
pdf as the href?

Subject: [cfaussie] How do I _not_ embed a pdf?


I'm producing a PDF file using HTML2PDF, and sending the resulting file to
the browser like this:
  <cfset tempReturn =
generatePDF(tempHeader,tempFooter,tempBody,tempFileName,96,50,50,50,12)>
  <!--- Set the content-type so Acrobat is invoked --->
    <CFCONTENT TYPE="application/pdf" file="#tempFileName#"
deletefile="yes">
  <!--- Suggest default filename for pdf --->
    <CFHEADER NAME="content-disposition"
VALUE="attachment;filename=studclasslist01.pdf">

Its running out of frames, so the pdf file replaces the selection form page.
There are hyperlinks in the pdf file that allows drill down on data, but
these replace the pdf file when clicked on. There doesn't seem to be anyway
to specify a target for pdf links like you can in html.
I've found that more 'polite' behaviour is forced if you open up the pdf
file directly, which causes it to open in the adobe pdf viewer outside of a
browser, which means that clicking on any links in the pdf doc cause the
link to open up in a browser and not disturb the pdf.

The code above embeds the pdf into the browser.
Does anyone know of a way to force the pdf to open up outside the browser,
just in the acrobat viewer, or else a way to make pdf links open up in a new
browser window?

Regards

Darren Tracey
