With the header "Content-Disposition: attachment" the browser will
offer the response as a regular file download (with save/open
options). Your original page (menu) will remain intact.
Please note that this solution will not present the PDF directly to
the user (as it would with a popup window), instead he will need to
open the downloaded file in his computer.

Have you tried to set a Content-Disposition header in the PHP script that
creates the PDF, asking the browser to "attach" the download? This way you
don't even need a new window.
Example from php.net/manual:
// It will be called downloaded.pdf
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"');

target as in the form attribute
In my appl devl I utilize an extra window when my current form is asked
to
generate a pdf report. Works well since that way the user can generate
one
report into a new window, read it, close it, and still have the reports
menu in front of him/her and generate a 2nd report.
I'm experiencing a problem tho and I'm guessing it's associated with ie9
or FPDF. In my reports menu form, when I click on a button that will
generate a pdf, I alter the form's target to create a new window. This
used to work last fall, but since then I have a new laptop running ie9,
not
8. The target changing js logic is working as far as I can see (alerts
in
my js) but the effect is not there. Instead of a new window, the pdf
opens
up in the same window where the menu was and so when the user does a back
he ends up going up one too many levels and has to re-request the reports
menu.
Didn't have this much trouble originally setting this up as I'm having
now
trying to debug this. I'm using the FPDF extension/class to generate my
pdfs - made no recent changes there. Also my concept works very well
still
in a simple html document that has only two buttons on it which I created
today to test a theory. That is - maybe it's not just IE9, but FPDF.
Anyone have any experience in this area?

And what happens to my original menu window?

Thanks for the pointer - but not what I'm looking to do. Trying to make
it effortless for the user so having to go and open a pdf would be
another pia.
