Will not open as new tab. Bad User Experience

  • Not possible to open up PDF in a new tab. This creates a bad user experience because they navigate away from your website. Using the back arrow on your browser does not return you to the same page.

    This is the only issue but a colossal problem, as most will be lost when browsing your site.

    You can create a direct link to a PDF book and open the URL in a new window or tab but then you can’t use the thumb images.

    Hi,

    We are sorry that our plugin couldn’t do what you wanted. Our solution is to open PDF in a popup in the same site and user stays in the same page. New tab makes the user to move to another tab leaving the existing page. We feel it’s better to stay on the same page.

    We understand it’s natural for disagreement. Yet, we do not understand – you want to open in new tab, yet, you do not want user to navigate away.

    We hope you can find a better plugin that can fulfil your requirement.

    Best Regards,

    DearHive
