Congratulations, I enjoy the grandkids more than I did my own kids, mainly because have more time on my hands.
I know that PDF files do open in a browser window, but for years now, I have claimed that a PDF file should open in its native document window because its behaviour is different to an HTML document. There is nothing more confusing to us oldies then to click on a PDF link only to find that we have lost our original page. The PDF page looks different and we do not realise that we have to click the back button to return to the original page. If we click a Word link, we are taken to Word to show the document. The same applies to an Excel link, then why not a PDF link.
If you go to http://pleysier.com.au/jeffrey/ you will see what I mean. Try in different browsers to see how each reacts differently.
The document markup can be seen when you view the source code. The script for pdf_dl.php is as follows
<?php
if (isset($_GET['file'])) {
$pdffile = $_GET['file'];
header('Content-disposition: attachment; $pdffile.pdf');
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
readfile(''.$pdffile.'.pdf');
}
?>
