Does anyone on the forumhave an idea how to open links to remote PDF
files in another window?

Let me explain. We are servíng PDF files to users from one of our
servers, our Phonegap app retrieves the URLS adn displays the PDF
file, the only problem is that the PDF file fills the whole screen and
there is no way to close only the PDF and return to the app. If one
forcibly closes the PDF, the phonegap app dies with it too.

1. I have tried using an IFRAME, this works somewhat but has the
disadvantage that IOS has a pblem with scrolling IFRAMED content.
Eeven content in OBJECT tags.
2. Disnplay the file in a lightbox. This works, bit the content cannot
be zoome it or downloaded
3. I have seen other IOS plugins, but I develop on an android machine
and would like to have a general solution instead of just one special
one for IOS

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
