Make any link with .pdf open in new window with jQuery?

Question

How can I have all links with a .pdf file extension open in a new window using jQuery? I need to change this:

Answer 1

One way, assuming you want links not ending in pdf to open in the same page:

$('a').click(
    function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        if (this.href.split('.').pop() === 'pdf') {
            window.open(this.href);
        }
        else {
            window.location = this.href;
        }
    });
