Post subject:  How do I create a hyperlink that opens a new browser window?
In html, here is a hyperlink that opens a new browser window: <a href="http://www.mypage.com" target="_blank">New Browser Window</a>. Note that target is an attribute of the anchor tag, and its value is set to "_blank".

I want to accomplish the same think in a PDF document, generated with the PDFSharp library.

So far, I've been able to create a hyperlink in PDF, but when I click on the link, the target loads in the same browser. Here's the code I'm using to create the hyperlink:

page.AddWebLink(
new PdfRectangle(new XPoint(x, y + 200), new XPoint(x + 500, y + 210)),
"http://www.mypage.com");

How do I make this link behave so that the target gets opened in a new browser window?

Thanks!

No one has answered my question.

I guess I should have asked this question first:

Using PdfSharp, is it possible to create a hyperlink (in a PDF document) that opens the target site in a new browser window?

Please advise.

Thanks!

I don't know.

Have you ever seen a PDF file that does this trick?
If so, where can we find it?

Thanks, you answered my question. I realized that if I open the PDF from windows explorer, I'm not opening it in IE. Then when I click on a link in the PDF, the target site opens in a new browser. This works for me!
