How to open in a new window for a submit button?

Is it possible to open in a new window when i click a submit button ? I have TWO SUBMIT buttons in my active form.

I know if i give 'target'=>'_blank' i will get the desired result in normal cases but it didn't work in active form. 

 <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(); ?>


        <div class="form-group">
            <div class="col-md-6">
            <?= Html::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? Yii::t('app', 'Submit') : Yii::t('app', 'Update'), ['class' => $model->isNewRecord ? 'btn btn-success' : 'btn btn-primary']) ?>
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-6">
                <?= Html::submitButton('Pdf', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary','name'=>'Pdf'],['target'=>'_blank']) ?>
            </div>
        </div>

    <?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>

I tried as above. then i decided to give target => _blank to active form as shown below 

<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(
    ['options'=>['target'=>'_blank']]); ?>

It works but not in the desired way. Now if i click on any one of the buttons i will be redirected to new page. I only want to get redirected to new page when i click on button 'Pdf'. Any Ideas?

I don't want any javascript to be used.

You can use anchor for new window.

<?= Html::a('Pdf', 'url', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary','name'=>'Pdf', 'target'=>'_blank']) ?>
