    .appendTo('body').submit().remove();

I'd like open the pdf in a new tab or window.. How can I change the appendTo in order to achieve it?

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

You can set target="_blank"

jQuery('<form target="_blank" action="' + url + '" method="' + (method || 'post') + '">' + inputs + '</form>')
  .appendTo('body').submit().remove();

Answer 2

Add target='_blank' attribute into forms.

target="_blank"

Answer 3

I think you can use $.ajax or $.post to get pdf url and you can use window.open() to open this url in new tab:)
