Is there a setting that will enable proper recognition of target="_blank" on links in the PDF when that PDF is viewed in a web browser?
I've got links with target="_blank" but when the PDF is viewed in the web browser, the links open in the current window/tab rather than in a new one.

Hi,

Unfortunately no. I do not believe there is such an option in the current version. It's a very interesting questions though, we will look into it to see if it is possible. As far as I know, a PDF file has no built-in mechanism to "see" whether it is being opened by a browser plug-in or a standard alone viewer. So I would guess that it is not technically possible to tailor the link behavior based on the hosting application. But we will double check for sure.

Thanks!
