How to open a PDF file in Google Chrome in a new tab?

I know this is not a programming question, but I hope to find an answer for my problem.

Is there a way to get Google Chrome to open PDF files in a new tab? Chrome now opens the PDF file in the tab that is currently open, and actually annoying clicking the back button to return.

Thank you for your help!

Hold down the Ctrl key when you click the PDF link.

It works the same in FireFox and IE.

Try holding Ctrl when you click on the link. Or right-click on the link and open in a new tab. Or just download the file by right-clicking and save it, then open it outside of Chrome.
