I add your code after the statement:
objIExplorer.Navigate "XXXX"

I found out that the target_name's value is inconsistent,
sometimes it returns value sometimes it returns, I do not know why.

Maybe you need to wait a second after the navigate line.

Try adding this to the declarations:

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

Then add this after objIExplorer.Navigate "XXXX" and see if it helps

Call Sleep(1000) '1 second

I find something new with or without the statement:
Call Sleep(1000) '1 second

The first time I click on the button, an instance of the browser is open, and pdf file is shown, also an error "Cannot find target" dialog box displayed.

I click on the button second time, another instance of the browser is open, and pdf file is shown, no error message displayed, and the window title of the FIRST INSTANCE OF THE BROWSER IS SUPPRESS!!!

I click on the button third/fourth/fifth... time, another instance of the browser is open, and pdf file is shown, no error message displayed, and the window title of the SECOND/THIRD/FOURTH... INSTANCE OF THE BROWSER IS SUPPRESS!!!

what should I do?

Private Declare Function SetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String) As Long

setwindowtext objIExplorer.hwnd,vbnullstring

well nearly everything was right except u should use the objIExplorer.Navigate2 function instead of objIExplorer.Navigate
