visualforce pdf - record page

Is there a way to open a visualforce pdf in a new tab? Currently the pdf opens on the same screen from a button.

Hi Ahon,

You can use window.open in vf page to open pdf in new record page. 
window.open("/apex/VFPageName?id={!id}");
Similar examples below.

Important Update - what you need to do

As a reminder, on December 4, 2023 the Salesforce Discussion Forums will be removed from the Salesforce Developers website. These forums will shut down and all relevant discussions will migrate to the Trailblazer Community digital platform.

During the week starting November 20, you can view discussions, but not post new questions or responses. On December 4, you will no longer be able to access the discussion forums from the Salesforce Developers website.

Please take these steps before November 30, 2023, 11:59 p.m. PT to ensure your contributions follow you to the Trailblazer Community:
  1. If you’re not already a member of the Trailblazer Community, sign up for a Trailblazer account using the same login email address associated with your Developer Discussion Forums account. This is crucial.
  2. If you already have a Trailblazer account, and it’s using a different email address from your Developer Discussion Forums account, we recommend that you log in to the Trailblazer Community and connect your forums email address to your Trailblazer account.

We know that moving platforms can be a hassle, so we created a special forums users group, the Migration Support Hub, in the Trailblazer Community where you can get training videos, information, and assistance.

We are here to help you through this transition!

Sincerely,
The Forums Support Team

Yes, you can open a Visualforce PDF in a new tab by using the "target='_blank'" attribute in the anchor tag that links to the PDF.
