[Web4lib] Acrobat Reader Issues

[Dan Lester]

The other question, and probably more important, is what BROWSER are
you using?  With IE7 and Acrobat 8.1.1 it does open the pdf in a new tab,
but I can just click back to the other tab that has the page linked
from.  Also, can't the creator of the pdf force it to open in new
tab/window, or not?  (I'm not one who creates pdfs so could be off
base here)
