After I go to the pdf file it opens no matter what I click on

I have an app with a drop down box when the user clicks on a selection a response.redirect("mypdffile.pdf") occurs. After I am sent to the pdf file and click the back arrow in the browser I return to the app. But, when I click on any button or link to get to another part of the app, the pdf file always opens. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Debug and see why clicking on any control executes that redirect code.

It's a tricky one this - but really, rather than redirecting users after a post back, you might do better to add a javascript function to redirect them from the cleint side instead.
