I am probably missing something simple here, however i will ask anyway. I have made a link to open up a PDF file, however it opens up in the current tab rather than a new one. What code shall i use in HTML to open a new tab to read the PDF file.

Launch a PDF>Navigate to Edit>Preferences>General>Uncheck the option "Open documents as new tabs in same windows" and then relaunch Acrobat. You would now see PDF' opening in new Windows and not in a tabbed format in the same window.
In general, avoid PDF for on-screen reading as much as possible. PDF is good for printing documents, that's it. Open links to PDF documents in new tabs on desktop.
PDF files will download in Chrome just like any other file. You can select the downloaded file at the bottom of the window, then choose “Open”, then the file will open in a separate Reader window. Select the “Always open files of this type” option.
<a href="newsletter_01.pdf" target="_blank">Read more</a>
Target _blank will force the browser to open it in a new window
