Actually, `system.perspective.download()` tells the browser to save the file, not open in a tab. You might want to consider storing your PDFs in your database so you can access them by URL (via my free [Blob Server](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-blob-server-module/57970) module or via WebDev). That will trigger your browser’s PDF UI.
