IE8 Printing to pdf

[RichBowman]

I have a report that I print to pdf and display. I have specified '_blank' in the Target Frame field of the template. Firefox works -- it opens the pdf in a new tab. IE8 does not. It opens a new instance of IE, displays the pdf progress bar, but does not display the pdf. I would like it to open the pdf in a new tab like Firefox does. Any ideas?

Using C8.0.8778 and NT 6.25

Thank you,

Rich

This is a known IE8 problem. There is a post on this NG and the solution was to detect the browser and change the target to _self if IE8 was detected.

I didn't have this problem in NT5 but once I converted my app to NT6, I was having the same issue that you came across.  I have placed the following in the Target Frame under the On-Click tab to resolve the issue:

CHOOSE(p_web.UserAgent='msie8','_self','_blank')

HTH...
