I need to open a pdf file in new browser tab. How to do this.
I was using
var docLocation = '../downloads/doc.pdf';
window.open(docLocation,"resizeable,scrollbar");
But it opens a download dialog box of the browser. How to achieve this ?
The ability to display the pdf is entirely dependent on whether the user has a plugin available to display the pdf and also has their settings set to treat pdf files this way.
There are some flash widgets out there that can be used to present pdf content to the user but to directly answer your question, you cannot control the users preferences for how they chose to handle pdf files.
