Hi,



I am using this after user has pressed a custom button which works fine, but I would like to open the PDF in a new browser tab (exactly as the standard PDF does). After some attempts I still do not get it. Maybe it is not possible.

Anybody an idea how to do this?

Thanks!

I found a solution by putting the above line of code into a js script and change header to window.open. But it will not work smooth and user friendly. You will get some unwanted behavior in the UI (blanc screen in the app after you pressed the custom button print PDF) and the new browser window will be blocked by the popup blocker from the browser. Probably it can be done somehow with using html and let the browser know it is a new window after a click event of the end user to avoid the browser popup blocker kicks in. Anyway not a simple thing I would say (I am not a coder). I leave it for now and and stay with opening the PDF in the same window.
