Solution 1

Try to open new tab on button click .. for this refer this link
After that on the page load event of newly opened page, do your operations for opening pdf(in same page from which function is executed)

Use this..
----------------

ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page.GetType(), null, "window.open('About.aspx', '_newtab')", true);

i tried ur code. it is not working i tried another code for opening openPdfReport.aspx page ..
ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page.GetType(), null, "window.open('PdfReport.aspx', '_blank');", true);
its not working too ... but one this works on client side page:OnClientClick="window.open('PdfReport.aspx', '_blank');"
i am totally confused now..

Check popups are enabled or not for browser.It worked for me,before giving i tested it.
If not worked then,use anchor tag or hyper link .If you don't want to specify pdf page url in design,then make link as server control by adding 'runat="server"' attribute. Now you will be able to specify redirection url from code behind, like on page load event by accessing that control
