Meanwhile I understand why DW2PDF always opens PDF files in the same browser window/tab after creation. In the function sendPDFfile
from within the action.php
the following header is written:
('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' . $filename . '.pdf";');
Which results in the PDF file being opened in the browser and not downloaded.
The URL to the PDF file is then passed using the fopen
function. However, with fopen
it is not possible to open the URL in a new browser window or a new TAB.
$fp = @fopen($cachefile, "rb");
Hopefully one of you can help me to adjust the Code. Maybe it is even worth a PR at the end.
