I have got Pjax loading the inner content for my site, but for PDFs it fails and seems to try and read the content within the container, rather than forcing it try its default behaviour. Resulting in stuff like this

    As far as I can tell, you’re probably using the pjax-rails gem. In that case just set the data-skip-pjax attribute on the PDF link to do a full page load:

    <a href="/ckeditor_assets/attachments/14/8C_johari_window.pdf" target="_blank" data-skip-pjax="true">Find out more...</a>

    Or using link_to:

    link_to "Find out more...", whatever_path, :target => "_blank", :"data-skip-pjax" => true
