4You cannot open a popup from apex. This needs to be done in the VF page using JS. All you can do is redirect the entire page– EricApr 6, 2017 at 20:43

Thanks @Eric, Is there any possible to open new window via page reference?– SriramApr 6, 2017 at 20:47

1No. As Eric said, PageReference is handled at the server level and you can only open popups at the client (JS) level.– Sebastian KesselApr 6, 2017 at 20:49

You cannot open popup window from controller.
You can either use commandbutton and use oncomplete method to open a popup
<apex:commandButton action="{!callMethod}" oncomplete="window.open('<url>','_blank','height=400,location=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=1', 1)">
or commandLink to open a popup window
<apex:commandLink
value="Save"
id="cmd1"
target="_blank"
action="{!callMethod}"
onclick=" " />
