Hi,
 I am very new to dotnetnuke, so I am learning a lot.  I am trying to make a menu item that links to a PDF file open in a new window.  I could do it with iframe, but it's not acting well with page size.  Does anyone have any tricks to make a PDF file open directly into a new window when you click on a menu item?

Thanks,
Renee Schmitz

a href="mypdf" target="_blank"

this will work if the user has the correct settings and does not auto save pdf files

if you want to associate a link with a menu item, you need to create a page and use redirect option in page settings. Unfortunately it doesn't contain "Open in new window" option, but a workaround would be using window.open('[URL]') instead.
