I get this sometimes when the link is actually for JavaScript. The script tries to launch a new page (which in my case becomes a new tab) as it fetches the PDF file. It seems that the script actually downloads another script (new page) that, in turn, gets the PDF file. Obviously, if this is what is happening, it's a poorly designed Web site. The Web site for Vanguard Mutual Funds often exhibits this problem. I can tell as I navigate through that site that there are indeed scripts that cause other scripts to be downloaded when links are requested rather than when the page containing the script is downloaded. There are also scripts on that site that wait until the entire page has downloaded and then request additional scripts, freezing the page while the newer downloads occur. Of course, this is most visible with a dial-up connection; but even with broadband, there is a momentary freeze while the new scripts execute. -- David E.
