how to open in new tab the pdf in virtuemart product?

Question

I have a pdf for every product in virtuemart and I would like to open the pdf in a new tab.

In virtuemart in Configuration/Shopfront i checked the box Show the pdf view icon.

Now I have found the line in html with firebug tool the a href tag that I have to change but i can't find it in joomla files to add the target="_blank" atribute.

You probably need the file components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default.php

It would be better to copy this file and paste to templates/your_template/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/ and under the line

if (VmConfig::get('pdf_icon', 1) == '1') {

write something like

echo '<a href="'.$link.'&format=pdf" target="_blank">PDF</a>';
