Can you force a link inside a .pdf to open the "linked to" document in a new window?

When I have a link inside my .pdf document - linking to another .pdf document or to a Word document - how can I force the linked-to document to open in a new window?
I have a web site (business internal, so unfortunately I cannot point to it).  My HTML menu has links to .pdf documents - no problem.  However, once I open those .pdfs, they contain links to other .pdfs and to Word documents.  Clicking on these links, which reside inside my .pdfs, opens the "linked-to" docs in the same page.  How can I force them to open in a brand new frame?
All of my .pdfs were originally created in Word, and in the Word versions, the links DO open into new frames.  I am not sure why, when I convert them to .pdfs, they lose this feature.
Can anyone help?

Hi Magenta,
Would you mind reposting this question over on the Acrobat boards?  You've posted in the AIR forum and you'll have better luck with this over there.
Thanks,
Chris

  • Firefox 5.0 for Linux: sometimes the middle button on a link does nothing, sometimes it opens the link twice - What can I do?

    Hello,
    I just updated Firefox from 4.x to 5.0 on Ubuntu 10.10 32bit.
    Since then, the middle button of the mouse works erratically on links.
    Sometimes the middle button opens a new tab with the link (which is correct), then replaces the current page with the link (which is not correct).
    It was particularly annoying when I tried to bypass what looks like another FF5 problem: clicking on "next" or page 2, 3, 4... on a Google results page gives nothing. Clicking with the middle button opens the page in a new tab... but also replaces the current one. Refreshing the page after clicking "next" or a page number seems to work.
    Is it a bug or a config problem? What should I do from now?

    Right click on the hyperlink and select “Open Link in New Tab," that will open a new tab and keep you from getting a blank page like most people get. I don't know why they changed this option. If you don't want to do that every time you can change it in the config.
    1. In Firefox, type about:config into URL Location bar.
    2.Click on I’ll be careful, I promise! button.
    3.In the filter text box, enter the following text string with no quotations :
    ''''''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''''''
    Alternatively, manually locate the preference name above.
    4.The default boolean value for the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent is “true”. Double click on the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to''' false'''.
    5.Close the tab, and the change will take effect immediately.
    Hope that helps some people..

  • Can you have two nicknames for game center for two kids linked to one Apple ID?

    Can you have two nicknames in game center (for each child) linked to one email/apple ID?

    On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • Can you force a value into a read-only numeric data member?

    I have code that will force a value into a numeric data member. Unfortunately the numeric data member in question is read-only. Can you force a value into a read-only numeric data member?

    Andre,
    I think you should get together with the other engineers there at NI. I spoke to one on the phone yesterday and he told me that the read-only aspect relates to writing between the database and PLC. I'm trying to write to the database and he told me that I could do it.

    send portfolio- how to customize adobe welcome screen for shared porfolio ?(Opening the link forces the recipient to a downright ugly irrelevant and dead advertisement (appropriately titled "branding logo.png) rather a related cover page)

    Hi nedler1,
    Please try the following steps to display the cover sheet and replace it with custom one:
    How to change a portfolio’s initial view setting to show the cover sheet (and hide the contents):
    Open a PDF portfolio and run the following JS in the console:
    this.collection.initialView = 'Hidden';
    Save the portfolio, close and re-open.
    The cover sheet will now be displayed when opening the portfolio.
    Updating the cover sheet
    Also, most likely if you want the coversheet displayed when opening the portfolio, and do not want the default cover sheet:
    Here are the steps to replace the default cover sheet:
    Open the Portfolio.
    Perform a View > Portfolio > cover sheet to open the cover sheet.
    Open the Pages panel for the cover sheet.
    Right click on the cover sheet page in the pages panel, select “Replace Pages”.
    Replace the cover sheet page with the desired cover from a page in another pdf.
    Save the portfolio.

  • In FF 34.0.5 I use to be able to click on a link within an e-mail and the link would open in a new tab; it now opens in the same tab; how can i change it back?

    I'm using FF 34.0.5 (I like it). I use to be able to right click on a link, within an e-mail, and the link would open in a new tab. Now when I click on the link it opens in the same tab replacing my e-mail.
    Example - a friend sends me an e-mail containing a link to a web site he thinks I'd like. I click on the link and go to the web site and then go back to the e-mail tab and reply to him. Now, when clicking that link, my e-mail disappears and is replaced by the new site.
    How can I fix this? When this happened once before I was told to change the 'value' for a specific 'preference name' through the about:config page.
    Can anyone help jog my memory?
    Thanks!

    Is this about clicking a link in an external program?
    You can check this pref on the about:config page for external links.
    * browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external (-1)
    If this pref has the default value -1 then browser.link.open_newwindow is used.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
    *1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • When I long press a link, in addition to opening a context box, it also opens the link in that window. How can I get JUST the context window to appear?

    I am an avid Pocket user and I like to scroll through various blog sites while saving articles to read later. Typically, I have been using Google Chrome browser which requires me to open each article in a different tab and then share that article to Pocket in order to save it. I was ecstatic when I found out the firefox browser worked very well and even supported add ons. I decided to try it but have run into a major issue. When I long press a link in order to share it, instead of a context window appearing and the website staying the same, a context window opens while the website loads the link. When I right click on a link in my browser, it doesn't mean I want to go to that link so I'm not sure why the same procedure would cause the mobile browser to do so. Is there a way I can long press a link without opening the link in that tab?

    Okay, this is silly, but it's the best I could come up with:
    I tested on Gizmodo: when the long press menu appears, instead of lifting your finger straight up, slide it down a bit, just off the link, before lifting your finger off the glass. Then the script in the page does not detect a "mouse up" (or equivalent event) on the link. Does that work for you?
    I realize you can't actually see the link through the menu, but one or two lines of text height usually will do it.
    Probably would make sense for Firefox to cancel all events associated with touching the link once the menu is displayed. Or to make sure the site understands it as a right-click (that seems harder). I haven't checked to see whether any ideas along these lines have been filed in the bug tracking system.

  • I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

    I click a link but it doesn’t open. Instead I get a popup saying “Open the link in a new window,” “Open link in a new tab,” etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

    That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
    You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
    Files send this way will always open in a tab.

  • How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser?

    How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser? Previous forums (for earlier versions of InDesign and Acrobat) mention something about JavaScript, but I'm using InDesign CC and Adobe Acrobat Pro CC
    Thanks.

    When you're looking at the PDF that's on your site, is it opened in the browser or directly i Acrobat/Reader? If in the borwser, do you know if it's being viewed in the browser's default PDF viewer or Acrobat/Reader? It probably won't work in non-Adobe PDF viewers.
    Are you saying that when you click the link that two new browser tabs are opened with the same URL, instead of just one as you'd expect, or something else?

  • What can be done in our code in order to disable the Link/Hand/Popup actio?

    Hi all,
    We are implementing a process that includes an Adobe Form. This form retrieves some information from our ERP and has some images that represent some executives’ signatures and company’s logo. At runtime, this application seems right, but when you place the mouse over the images a “Hand” appears and a click is possible. If you click over it, a FileSystem PopUp appears and you can choose a new image. What can be done in our code in order to disable the “Link/Hand/Popup” action??
    Regards and Thanks in advance!

    Hi Carlos,
    You can write a script to make it readonly .
    Click on the image element .check the object properties.
    find the bind
    nd u can use the formcalc script to disable action like;
    Event :Initialize
    Script :formcalc
    runat :client
    Subform.image1.access="readOnly"

    What did you rent the film on, your iPad or your Mac ? If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app on it (you should get a rentals tab in the app). If you rented it on your Mac then it should be in the Movies part of your Mac's iTunes library, you will have to connect your iPad to your Mac's iTunes and move it from your Mac to your iPad (I think that it should show on the iPad's Movies tab for moving)
