PDF -- link to web page--- in new tab??

Hi! I´m making a PDF that will be seen in browsers and when I put the links to open web pages they always open on the same tab as the PFD... How can I make them open on a new page o tab?? Is there a Javascript code?
Thanks!!!

The code to do it is:
app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);
But keep in mind it's not going to work if the PDF file is opened in non-Adobe PDF viewers.

  • When we connect to the internet or visit a new web page, a new tab opens and an alert pops up as follows: "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"

    When we start the internet or navigate to a new page, a new tab opens with the following alert: "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." We "x" out of it, but a new tab, with the same alert appears. The problem occurs again when we try to navigate to another web page. A real nuisance. We've scanned the computer but found nothing but Adware cookies.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Cannot open web page in new tab in V 3.6.13

    I am using FF V. 3.6.13 with VISTA & Norton Security Suite. When I am in a web site and I click on a link, nothing happens. I have to right click on the link, chose "Open Link In New Tab" to get anything to happen. On some web sites I am unable to download a file. I have checked all my security settings, I have "open in a new tab" selected in FF, and I have turned off Norton Security Suite. I noticed this began right after I updated FF to the newest version. Anyone know how to resolve this problem? Your help will be appreciated.

    I am also having this problem, but in Windows XP and after trying and removing FF 4.07B.
    I my case FF doesn't even have a tab for the opening page. Tried as stated above by "sierradave".
    As above thanks in advance.

  • Can't download or open PDFs via links on web pages? Clicking links to PDFs in web pages only results in blank "new" tabs opening in Firefox...WHY?

    Links to PDFs on webpages only opens a "new" tab which is blank. I cannot download or open PDFs. This started a couple of weeks ago.

  • I'd like to have web links open automatically in a new tab. How do I make this happen?

    1. When I open Firefox I have it set up that my gmail page automatically opens. When I want to go to another web site a new tab does not open but replaces my gmail tab. Then I have to use "back" or "history" to return to the gmail page. This gets difficult when I have been surfing the web & then have to go "back" thru numerous web pages. I'd like each web page to open in it's own tab. How do I do this?
    2. Also, in google help it stated: " If you want to open a link in a new tab instead, just right-click on the link and select Open Link in New Tab from the context menu. " I tried this & the "Open Link in New Tab" did not appear in the menu. Can you assist me in locating this menu?

    If you use Ctrl + left-click or middle-click a link then the link should open in a new tab.<br />
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Click web link doesn't open a new tab

    Before whenever I click on a web link, FF always open a new tab for me. I just recent rebuilt my PC and upgraded FF to 13.0. Now no matter what I change in Options, it only opens the link on my current web page. I know I can do Right-Click but I am just used to this. I found others were having the same issue but they were on much lower version of FF and I don't have any mentioned Add-on installed.

    I don't think there is a setting to open all links in a new tab. You can set all links that would normally open in a new window to open in a new tab instead. And like you said you can right-click and select open in a new tab. Also if you click a link to another website from an App Tab it will open in a new tab.
    I did find [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=open%2Blinks%2Bin%2Ba%2Bnew%2Btab&platform=windows&appver=13.0&page= these add-ons] that might help.

  • Can you link to specific start and end pages of pdf in a web page

    I'm using iframes to display a pdf on a web page. i want to be able to link to for example pages 2-3 of a 20page document.
    I know i can link to a start page or a bookmark/destination but i only want those 2-3pages available to the viewer not the whole document.
    Is this possible?

    Not without a server-side application that extracts those pages as a new
    file and opens it instead of the original.

  • Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8,  for the simple reason it was
    created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
    OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
    current version for compatibility.

  • When I click a link to open the page in new tab, it open the new page beside my page.

    After I update FireFox to version 3.6.8, I could not open the new page in the last tab, it always opens the new page in beside the tab.
    Mmm…I could not make sure the new page or new tab I said is the same with you…?? (I use Chinese version so that I don’t know if it’s the same or not…)
    A window could open several pages with different tabs, and I could click different tab to different page, right?
    If I right clicked a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same window, the new tab opened in the last tab of my window.
    But after I update FireFox to version 3.6.8 and I click a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same windoe, the new tab will open beside my page. (Mmm…Open on right of my page.)
    I would like the “new tab” open to the last tab in my window, not “beside” the tab I used. How could I change the setting??)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.

  • Why can't I scroll or use MMB to open pages in new tab, when I have a PDF file opened in FF4?

    If I have a PDF file opened in firefox 4, I am for unknow reason unable to open pages in new tabs with MMB or scroll thepage up or down. The scroll function isn't working at all, and it seems like I'd be scrolling the PDF file, not the page of my current tab.

    Hi aK'
    Nice, memorable user name!
    -1712 is a timed out error. One reported cause (with other applications) is that the application is attempting to open a large number of files, or a file that no longer exists.
    Try holding down the shift key when launching preview. This prevents the application from attempting to open windows that were not closed before quitting the application.

    You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override pref.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
    *1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
    Use this for links opened via JavaScript.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''

  • 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.
