Opening Hyperlink URLs in new Browser Tab/Page

Post by midnitc »

I have a LaTeX generated beamer slide (PDF). And this is to be embedded in a browser HTML frame for online viewing of the presentation in web browser. However, the links will be usually in the middle of the presentation, like 30-40 pages into the presentation. And when I click on this URL like http://www.latex-community.org, it loads in the frame nicely. Now the problem comes. After I browse the URL, if I need to go back to presentation, I click back in the browser and it goes to the Page with presentation PDF loaded. But it reloads the document at the first page. This is a real pain as I will have to navigate back to the place where I paused the presentation and visited the URL.

Is there any solution to this problem either as
  1. When pressing the back button the PDF has to open in the last opened page. I. e. some kind of "remembering the last viewed page".
  2. Or easier option is some way to open the URL in a new browser window, like HTML tag "target=_blank".
Please help me as I am in big trouble.
