I have a page that has links to a pdf and the client wanted to know
whether it can be linked to a new window or not. They dont really care
about best practises etc but rather what the state Internet guidlines
are. I have looked through the 107 page doco but cannot find anything.
no idea about "state guidelines" ... but I hope the page warns people that
they are pdf's before they click!
One of my pet hates is acrobat reader opening in a browser unexpectedly.
It takes a long time to start and the browser is completely locked up while
it waits for acrobat reader to start.
(acrobat reader had the same problem a decade ago and they never fixed it!)
Its especially annoying when looking at government sites - they seem to use
pdf for almost everything
(including a lot of stuff that could have just been put there as html)
If it's a pdf I prefer to just download it and open it in acrobat reader
without using the browser -
much less hassle and I can still browse while waiting for acrobat reader to
start!
