Add button to open PDF in new browser window CS3

I'm trying to add a button that says "Go" that will open a PDF in a new browser window.
I've looked at the following article but don't see the "Select Action" pull-down.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I hope I understood your question correctly, if so my suggestion may be helpful. Otherwise I think it's nearly the same what paul writes, I only made clear my proposal in a website for you, first a photo:
and here is the link: http://www.goldschmiede-blumberg.de/pdf/adob_pdf.php.
Note 1: "Ausgabe 9" und "ein Mausklick hier genügt" are links!!
Note 2: " Um pdf-Dateien ...." Means: To read pdf files, you need the free Adobe Reader. The current version you can download from the Adobe website.
Look at it's source code.
Viel Erfolg

Add option to open swf in new browser window

Hello,
I have a small animation on a webpage. The properties are to
small to view all details. Can I add functionality to this swf that
the user can open the swf file into a new browser window. This
allows then for scaling to what ever size is appropriate.
Any suggestions??
Thanks!

Forcing link in one web based PDF to open link to another PDF in new browser window

We have created a form using LiveCycle Designer ES2. The form is found on our website and is used by faculty to submit proposal information to our office. Depending upon the answers to questions in the form if they say yes we had a link to another form that we would like them to complete and submit with the original PDF that they are working on. The problem that we are having is that when they click on the form it opens the new PDF and all the data that they had entered in the original PDF is gone once the new form opens up. Is there a way to force the new PDF via the use of some scripting that can go along with the link, or via the use of a button that can force the new form to open in a new browser window? It is impractical for us to expect 1500 faculty members to change their browser settings to open new PDF's in a new window. We have removed the links for now and have just put in text that says if they select yes they need to go out and complete the additional form.
The form we are using can be found here: http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf
The first three questions on page two where we reference the other forms is where we would like to be able to add the links to the new forms and have them open in a new browser window. When the form is downloaded and opened in Adobe Acrobat/Reader the links functioned correctly, it just did not function properly when it opens in a browser.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer in regards to this issue.

I used a button, removed the border/fill properties and underlined the caption to look like a URL.
The click event is...
// form1.page1.subform1.urlBtn::click - (JavaScript, client)
app.launchURL("http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf",true);
The PDF will open in a new window or tab, depending upon the browser configuration.

Can I have links open in a new browser window?

Is it possible to have links to pages outside of my website to open in a new browser window?
I've created a podcast for my students to listen to.
I've also created a kind of fill-in-the-blank activity to go along with that podcast, but that activity requires a different window.
I want my students to listen to the podcast and do the fill-in at the same time.
So, I'd like for the students to open the link to the fill-in and then click on the podcast on the original page.
Advice?

changing podcast links is a bit difficult - but here is a general link of how to open windows in a new window:

Open links in new browser window

We are using Oracle WCI 10.3/Collaboration 10.3 and have a Community Links Portlet (collab portlet) setup. The links open up in the same browser window and to get back to the portal, the user has to hit the back button on the browser. So,
1) Is there a portal/collaboration configuration that enables links to open up in a new browser window?
2) Is there a way to hide the address bar when the link opens up in a new window? (the reason for this question is, we may have a link to some applications where we don't want the user going in directly. So, by hiding the address bar, they can't copy the URL and access directly without going in through the portal).
If there is any better way to do question 2 above, would appreciate the feedback.
Thanks.

I was able to figure this out:
1) In the My Account section, under display preferences, there is an option to "open documents in same window" or "new window". By changing this, links in the Community Links portlet open up in a new browser window.
2) With a simple javascript example that I found on the internet, I was able to customize the popup browser window with no address bar or menu buttons.

Open QT In New Browser Window - Followup Q For Quicktime Kirk

Quicktime Kirk:
I found a thread a few months ago (now archived) where you explained how to open a QT movie in a new browser window at specified dimensions. The example you gave was your page:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/bushbashquiz/
So I've got it all working and it looks great in Safari and Fireworks (thanks very much!), BUT unfortunately it does not work in Explorer. What happens in Explorer is that the window basically targets "_.self" (i.e. the parent window goes away), and when you click the "Close Window" button it closes the window and you're left with nothing.
I know that Explorer has all kinds of bugs, but unfortunately it's popular -- esp. with the PC crowd whom I need to allow for. Do you or anyone know how to get this functionality working in Explorer???
Thanks again.

Yep. I just checked the link using IE for Mac. The "pop-up" window replaces the source window (not supposed to do that). Another reason to no longer use IE on a Mac.
The javascript is valid in every other Mac browser. Just not IE, it seems.
My PC is down (I think it really died this time) so I can't test its implementation of javascripts on a PC platform.
And, you're correct. It doesn't work as it should when opened using IE on a Mac.
I "borrowed" the javascript and it must contain errors that are not so obvious on the Mac OS.
I'll look for the cause but can't promise a solution. Thank you for pointing this out. I try very hard to accommodate all browsers and OS's. This one skipped by me (no IE use in years on my Mac).
Maybe a javascript guru can "fix" my (or IE's) sloppy page code.

Opening Hyperlinks in New Browser Window?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to have keynote open a hyperlink in a new browser window? I have exported my keynote presentation to a quicktime moive and posted it on the web.
However, when someone clicks on one of the hyperlinks it opens the new website in the same browser window. When they click the Back button to go back to my Keynote quicktime movie it starts the presentation/movie over.
Any help you may have to offer would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

"Go to URL" not opening in a new browser window

We are using FrameMaker 10 and RoboHelp 9 in a Windows 7 environment.
When we create hypertext links, we use the "Go to URL" command. According to the FrameMaker 10 online help, this is what the command is supposed to do: "Launches browser and displays the specified Web page."
Then we publish the content to RoboHelp's WebHelp.
When we see the hypertext link in the WebHelp/HTML output, it looks like this: http://www.adobe.com
When we click it, the Web page appears inside the content frame of the WebHelp. It does not open a new browser window.
We can manually go into the html file and look at the hypertext link. It looks like this in the WebHelp output:
<span class="FM_Link"><a href="http://www.adobe.com">www.adobe.com</span>
In order to manually change the link so that it opens the Web page in a new browser window, we can edit the link as follows:
<span class="FM_Link"><a href="http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank">www.adobe.com</span>
After we manually edit the HTML file, save it, launch the WebHelp, and click the hypertext link...it now opens the Web page in a new browser window.
Is there a way to create the hypertext link in FrameMaker so that the WebHelp output will open the Web page in a new browser window?
Thank you in advance!
Tim

Please see the previous posts in this thread to review how you create hyperlinks in FrameMaker that open the Web page in a new browser window.
The problem is this: If you publish the exact same file to PDF, the hyperlinks will not work.
The properties (syntax) of the hyperlinks in PDF output need to look like this: http://www.adobe.com
The hyperlink syntax in WebHelp (in FrameMaker) needs to look like this: http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank
(...so when they are published to Webhelp, they look like this: "http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank")
Other than going into either the HTML or the PDF output and manually changing each hyperlink URL syntax for the specific output, is there a syntax that opens a new browser window in both PDF and HTML with one single "Go to URL" command?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Open portlet in new browser window

Anyone know of a way to open a portlet, or a page containing a portlet, from a link into a new browser window? This is different than showDetailsPage, which opens in the same browser window.
Thanks.

I tried to do this through Item Attributes for the portlet (clicking the little pencil), where there is a radio button for "Display Options."
One choice is: "Link That Displays Item in New Browser Window."
(I do have something in for the "Display Name" which seems to be required to get a link.)
However, this doesn't seem to work. No link shows.
(It works fine for
I have tested this with a Discoverer portlet, and also with a more generic portlet (the "Developer News" portlet in the 9iAS Community portlet provider).
Is this broken / a bug?

Open url in new browser window

Hello,
i am looking for a possibility to open an URL in a new browser window, when the end-user clicked on a button.
I am aware of the LinkToURL view element. Unfortunately i would prefer to use a button element instead of the LinkToURL elementl. Can anyone provide me with a solution? Maybe there is a possibility to implement the needed coding in the action assigned to the button.
Thanks,
Dirk

Discoverer Viewer Open Link in New Browser Window

We have created cubes with links to details (using Manage Links).
When selecting the link from Discoverer Plus OLAP, a new browser window opens.
When selecting the link from Discoverer Viewer, it opens within the same browser window.
How can we force Discoverer Viewer to open a link in a new browser window?
We tried adding the TARGET="_blank" to the link but that only gets added to the last parameter (or passed as a parameter).
Unlike Discoverer Plus parameter, there is no _popup option.

Displaying PDF in new Browser window

Hi all,
I have a question about displaying a invoices in pdf format in a new window. I read several threads about this, but I haven't been able to solve my problem.
I'm using following code:
append the pdf to the response
cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
    i_filename = 'test.pdf'
    i_content   = lx_pdf
    i_mime_type = 'application/pdf'
    i_in_new_window = ' X'
    i_inplace       = 'X' ).
The content (lx_pdf) is retrieved from a smartform, via the function module for the smartform in question, after which I convert the OTF Data (JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-OTFDATA) to XSTRING using FM SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING. The returned data (buffer of type xstring) I use for afore mentioned method. But all I get to see is the following:
//XHPLJIIID    0700 00000000001

The text is correct, but it is not displayed as PDF in new window, and of course I'm not interested in all the formatting codes in front of every line??
I should be possible to display a pdf in a new browser window without having installed everything needed for Adobe Interactive forms, or isn't it??
Kind regards,
Micky.

Hi Micky.
If you have the spool number of the printed billing document you can use
component WDK_SPOOL_TO_PDF in order to display spool as PDF.
Just transfer spool number and format to default inbound start up plug.
Cheers,
Sascha

Open PDF-Output in browser window with full height

Hi,
I must open some BIP-Reports as PDF in a browser window via URL. The problem ist, that the height of the PDF-Output is fixed, as the PDF is shown in an iframe with fixed height.
The height can be set in the BIP preferences, but only to a fixed value (not to something like "100%"). If the height is smaller than the users browser window, then there is unused space below the pdf output. If the height is greater than the users browser window, there are two scrollbars to the right: One for the html-Page and one for the PDF.
I tried the following options:
1. http://<bip-server:port>/xmlpserver/public/<report-name>.xdo?_xmode=4&_xf=pdf
-> Output is PDF, only the PDF is shown (_xmode=4), opens in same browser window but height is limited.
2. http://<bip-server:port>/xmlpserver/public/<report-name>.xdo?_xmode=4&_xf=pdf&_xpt=1
-> PDF is not opend in browser window, but can be downloaded or opened in a separate PDF-Viewers window.
I would like to just open the PDF in the browser window in full height. How can I achive this?

Hello Yesh,
you can open PDFs as a guest user (without authentification):
1. Allow Guest Access (Admin -> Security Configuration -> Check "Allow Guest Access" and select a folder name).
2. Copy your Report into this guest folder
3. You can open the Report as PDF with a link like this:
http://(bip-server-name):9704/xmlpserver/(guest-folder-name)/(report-name)/(report-name).xdo?_xpt=0&_xf=pdf&_xmode=4(&report-parameters)
Just replace the strings in brackets. You find a great description of the URL parameters in Tim Dexters Blog
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/07/accessing_xmlp_enterprise_repo.html
I didn't find an option to set the height of the PDF-Output for the guest user in the BIP-UI. Maybe I missed something. But you can manually edit the configuration file. It is located on your BIP server direcory in the subdirectory xmlp/XMLP/Users. Select the guest users subdirectory and edit the configuration file "user~.profile".
In this XML config file there is an entry "viewerHeight". In the Value-Tag you can enter the PDF output windows height in pixel (but unfortunaly not in % - this was the question of my original posting).
Hope that helps...
