Hi,
I just recently created a PDF file with external links that will open a PDF file.
But its not working for me, here's the example link :

javascript:void(window.open('http://sampleweb.com/files/sample.pdf'))

Note: This works fine when i'm accessing from a web page, not from a PDF file link.

Thanks!

This will work, try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function openPDF()
{
window.open('http://sampleweb.com/files/sample.pdf');
}
