Acrobat plugin, "external" links - how to open in _blank?

I understand that the following questions may have been asked numerous times on this and other forums previously. Knowing that software capabilities constantly change with every new release, I wanted to clarify by gaining answers directly to the following questions.
If a PDF document is displayed within the acrobat plugin in any web browser, is it possible to invoke a link within that PDF to open in a new browser window or tab rather than loading in the current window and navigating away from the PDF?
Is there a cross browser solution for achieving this outcome?
Our workflow for producing PDFs involves Indesign, is there a way we can implement this in the Indesign source by inserting Javascripts?
If the answer to (1) and (2) is "No", are there any alternative options for achieving this?
Any constructive insights/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I think part of your problem might lie in the way you are trying to use your quotation marks. It appears you are trying to have the single quotes do what double quotes should be doing.
document.write("<a href='"+imagelinks[ry]+"' target='_blank'><img src='"+myimages[ry]+"' border='none'></a>
If you want to have doublequotes appear in code as doublequote characters you can try slashing them to have them read literally... \"
document.write("<a href=\""+imagelinks[ry]+"\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\""+myimages[ry]+"\" border=\"none\"></a>

Clicking on External Link in Safari Opens New Tab

I think it has to do with one of the preferences I've set within Safari but I just can't put a finger on which one.
Basically, I reinstalled Yosemite 10.10.3 on my MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2013) about a week ago. And then I tinkered with Safari preferences.
Since then, whenever I click on an external link, for example, an email address, Safari opens a New Tab instead of launching my Mail app.
Not sure how to do undo this.

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ General ▹ Default email reader: Mail
If you don't use Mail, you may be able to set the preference in the mail client you do use.

RH6: External Links Won't Open

In the newest issue I've encountered compiling RH5 projects
with RH6, none of the several hundred external file links work in
IE7: the file will not open.
I ran a file compare on the published version of one RH6
topic with its RH5 equivalent -- they are
exactly the same except for the meta name="generator"
company name and URL and this line at the top in the RH6 version:

So, it doesn't appear to be the individual file, but a goober
somewhere in the output which is preventing the links from working.
BTW, the RH5 version works fine.
Any ideas where to look for the culprit?
Thanks!

...well, I inadvertently lied: I have two layouts, unchecked
Mark of the Web for one, compiled and opened the other. Not smart,
but in my defense, I've been distracted....
So here's the deal: the layout with Mark of the Web
checkmarked [per Adobe's copious Help, "Select this option
if you do not want your output (which is saved on your computer) to
be blocked in Internet Explorer 6, and later."] will
not open externally linked files. Period.
With Mark of the Web
unchecked, those externally linked files open just as
expected.
I'm confused. If I can't open externally linked files with
Mark of the Web checked, isn't that "blocking" -- at least of some
sort?
Anyway, Peter, good wild guess -- but I sure don't know how
to deal with this "solution"...<G>

OBIEE Guided Navigation Link - How to open in New page.

Hi,
I am using Guided navigation links in OBIEE dashboards to link some of my reports.
When i click on the Link it opens the report on the same page. Instead i have to open the report in a new page. This Option is available in 'Link OR Image' section, not in 'Guided Nav. Link' section. Please suggest me if there is any way to achieve this.
Thanks
Swami

Hi
We have the same need: from within a report we have guided navigation to a detail report, that uses the values of the record in the master report as filterparameters. When clicking a row in the master report , we should open the detail report in a new window, while leaving the master report in the dashboard open. How can we achieve this?
Swami just mentioned the Link or Image object to indicate that this possibility of choosing the same or a new window is present there, and asked where to find the same choosing option for guided navigation.

Any external links do not open in my NEW version (9.01)

Yesterday I downloaded the "Grocery List" app and it came with a bug. every time I would hover over a link a Javascript 101 error message would pop up. I couldn't do anything about it. Shutting down and re-booting didn't work. Uninstalling and re-installing FF didn't work either. I finally had to get outside help, which cost me nearly six hours of time. But now I don't get the error. (I will NEVER add another "add-on" from fire fox again.)
Now, however, any links, say from an e-mail, will NOT OPEN in a new browser window, which had been the case before. How do I repair this?

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.

External links don't open as new tab

Hi folks. I've asked about this, and given a suggestion about this in the past, and it still continues to this day.
In an email someone provides a link. I click it and it opens up in a new window. It should open up in a new tab, as I have my preferences set that way. It is set to "Always".
Is Apple reading these forums? How can we get that fixed? Always open in a new tab means always. Emails with links should open up in a current window, if it's not minimized in the dock.
Can I change this via some Terminal setting?
Cheers

Just making sure...
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Launch Safari to test.
If you can open a link in a new tab, move the .plist file to the Trash.

External links won't open to my satisfaction in Safari

I use to have multiple open Safari-Windows, each with multiple tabs. When I click on a link in Mail, I'd like that link to open in a new tab (what it does) in the window I used last (what it doesn't, instead it opens in the first window I opened). Is there a way to force the link to open in a specific window?

could you check the link, sometimes the link may be incorrect.
Try with Firefox Beta

Random banner links: How to open in new tab/window

I've added a random banner to a site I'm experimenting with, and I've got it to randomly load the images. The links are all set and working, but they open in the same window or tab. Is there a way to tell it to open the linked site in a new window or tab?
Here's the script:
<script language="JavaScript">

How to choose witch window will open external links when using multiple Firefox profiles at the same time?

I am using 2 firefox profiles at the same, one for working and another for reading news. I start them with "firefox -no-remote -P profilename", so there are 2 firefox processes running.
It works well, but when I click a link in an external app (like in Google Talk), the link is opened in the first firefox process I launched. I mean, if I ran the "news" firefox first, it will always open the external links.
Is it possible to change this behavior? I'd like all external windows to be opened in the "news" firefox, never in the "working". Of course I'll achieve that if I open it first, but if I first run the "news", then the "working", then I close the news for any reason, now links will always open in the "working" until I close it.
I running linux (opensuse 11.3).

'''traysh''',
Profiles '''''period''''' are "unsupported" by Mozilla. Profiles are "there" but the developers want no part of non-developers using them or fixing anything related to Profiles that has been suggested in a Bug report, or documenting much related to Profiles. Profiles as we know them now are going to disappear from Firefox in the near future, although no specific version number or date has been fixed for that to happen. It is up to us user's to share our experiences with Profiles with other user's. I'm a relative noob to Linux, and all my experience with running multiple Profiles and -no-remote is with Windows OS's.
'''cor-el''',
So are you saying that on Linux external links will only open in the first Profile that was opened if multiple Profiles are running?
And that external links won't open a Profile that isn't already running - if any Profile is already running?
''I wish the differences between Windows and Linux as far as '''-no-remote''' and running multiple Profiles were better documented for "us" Linux noobs over at the MozillaZine KnowledgeBase - hint. Unless I am not looking hard enough in the MZ KB for that information....''

Change default behavior for opening external links

Is there a Robohelp setting I can change so that, by default, external links in WebHelp open in a new tab or browser?

Hi there
Unfortunately there never has been to my knowledge.
You may wish to make the suggestion so a future version can have it. (Link is in my sig)

Clicking external links switches to Firefox but won't open

I use Thunderbird (31.1.2) on a Mac (OS X 10.9.4). I frequently need to proof e-mails that contain a number of links (for a digital marketing campaign). When I click a link in the e-mail, Firefox (32.0.3) opens or becomes active, and if I have NO other tabs, will open my link. But when I switch back to Thunderbird, and click a second link, Firefox will again become the active app but my link will NOT open.
Again, if I have NO open tabs, the first click always works, but no other clicked links will work beyond that.
If I switch to Safari as my default browser, everything works fine. So I'm forced to do that as a solution but I really don't like it.
Any thoughts to help?

I have the same problem. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes external links open immediately, sometimes they don't. Sometimes if I try several times in succession, the link will eventually open. If I manually copy and paste the link into a new tab, it always works.
Firefox is set as my default browser and set to check such at startup. When external links fail to open, Firefox DOES activate and become the frontmost application. It just fails to create a new tab from the external link.
I am using Firefox 32.0.3 on MacOS 10.9.5. I believe this problem started with the update before last (the same one that created the failure of CMD-L to open a new window which has since been fixed.)

External hyperlinks, how?

Hello everyone!
How do I add external links that will open in a new window (and not in the same window ~ in a "_blank" window)?
Any help appreciated!
Thanx!

Just adding to what Kyn has already said, if you take a look here, http://hac.95mb.com/iWeb.html (The homepage of Cyclosaurus) and scroll down to Other Scripts. One of the "Other Scripts" will help you do this, but you need to be prepared to do this once you have published your site.

Firefox has started loading external links in a new window instead of a new tab

Until recently, external links have always opened in a new tab. The last few days thaey've started opening in a new window. I can't find anything I have changed.

I am running IE Tab 2 (FF 3.6+) 2.12.21.1 by ietab.net and was experiencing this problem... I just disabled it and the problem went away.
