Converting Word Hyperlinks to PDF as "New Window"

I have a user who has a Word 2003 document which has a lot of hyperlinks. In Word, the "Target Frame" setting associated with the hyperlinks is set to "New Window". We use Adobe PDFMaker to convert the Word document to a PDF. The hyperlinks convert into the PDF file, however when you click on the link, it opens in the same window. How do we get it to open in a new window, so that the original PDF file as well as the linked PDF file are both open?

To expand on what DevyaniB said. This is an application preference, not a document preference. You can set this preference for your computer, not on another user's computer.

My adobe acrobat 9 standard does not work recently for converting word documents to pdf - what up?

why would adobe acrobat 9 standard stop working for converting word docs to pdf?

Are you running at least version 9.2 of Acrobat? Are you able to log in with a new user account on Windows to see if it works?

Does any version of InDesign let you set hyperlinks to open in new window?

I'm converting some InDesign books to pdf and epubs and my client wants the hyperlinks to open in new window when these files are viewed in browsers. so far no version I've tried has this capability.

It must be done in Acrobat. Ask in the Acrobat forums.

Acrobat 11 Standard Office 2010 Pro Convert Word documents to PDF not working

Adobe community,
I can create PDF's inside Word 2010 using the Acrobat Add-in but right clicking a Word document or dragging a Word document into Adobe Acrobat 11 Standard does not work. I have updated both Acrobat 11 and Office 2010 with the latest updates available. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi markl16215442,
In order to convert word document to PDF by right-clicking or dragging the file, you must have Adobe PDF printer installed.
For Windows, please check that Adobe PDF is set as default printer under "Start > Devices and Printers"
While for MAC, Adobe PDF printer option is no more available and as it was removed with some changes in Apple's policy regarding virtual printers.
So, check with your OS and then let me know.

How can i make my hyperlinks open in a new window or tab?

how can i make my hyperlinks open in a new window or tab?

The program is InDesign… we need to cease links which will open the linked document in a separate window. Also, the links must be maintained once a pdf is made and the files moved to another computer….

Can I program my hyperlinks to target a new window?

When exporting interactive pdf files from InDesign, my hyperlinks target the same window and permanently direct my readers away from my pdf. Can I program my hyperlinks to target a new window? The reader must constantly hit the back button in order to not lose my pdf on their browser. I do not like this and have looked for ways to tell my hyperlinks to target a new window. I have not been able to find a way thus far and I have been creating my newsletters as interactive pdf files in InDesign for over 3 years. I kept hoping with each upgrade (CS4 to CS5 to CS6 to CC) that I would see an improvement to the hyperlinks and buttons pallets. However, not much has changed here since CS4. Please correct me if I am wrong. And please share if this had already been made possible. In my newsletters, I hyperlink images as well as selected text, to external URLs.
Side note: This was less of a problem when I emailed the pdf files directly to my contacts using Outlook. In the last year and a half, I have been using an email service provider to better track my open rates, etc. I give my interactive pdf files to my developer to put up on my company website. He provides me with a URL for my email template. So, when readers click the link to read the full newsletter (pdf) they are viewing it in a browser. I also print my newsletter. So, keeping with InDesign to be able to output my files for print and as interactive pdfs is ideal. I have not yet considered creating my newsletters in html at this point. Please feel free to make suggestions.

Acrobat Pro has the power to add features which can't be accomplished within the interface.
Ask in the forums there. I recall that it was fairly easy to add that JavaScript:

Not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard

Hi,
I am not able to convert word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. When I try to convert, it starts the process and in between I am getting this prompt, as shown in figure below and the conversion process stops. The PDF is not created.
Note: The filename 'Acr85.doc' in the above prompt keeps changing and is random.
I tried clicking Yes, No and Cancel on the above prompt, but the conversion process just stops and PDF is not getting generated.
I am able to create PDFs from web pages. No issues with that. Not working only with Word.
Can someone help me with this.
Thanks,

Acrobat XI Pro successfully installed, but it failed in converting word files into PDF, why?

I just installed Adobe XI Pro through the download assistant, it looks the installation went well, but when I tried to convert word files into PDF (tried many times), it failed. Anyone has the same problems, any solutions?

Please reply with more information - what your operating system is, do you have Office installed, and what exactly is happening. Is there an error message, does the application crash, and from where are you starting the conversion (using Word and PDFMaker, using Acrobat's Create button, or batch processing).

When I try to follow a hyperlink, Firefox opens a new window that stays blank.; also I can't download a hyperlinked file.

I recently bought a laptop that is equipped with Windows 7. I needed new drivers for my Canon printer and was able to locate the new software on their website. When I tried to activate the hyperlink, Firefox opened a new window with the proper address in the "window". however the window stayed blenk. Similar actions with IE yielded desired results.
I got the same "dead end" when I tried to download a form from Mozilla; again IE worked fine.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Reader x will not allow me to convert word files to pdf

reader x will not let me convert word files to pdf's, even word files that have been converted before. unable to get support through adobe...

The free Reader has never been able to do much more than reading (opening) PDF files. It has never had the capacity to convert any kind of file to any other format. If you could do it before, you must have been using another Adobe program/service.

How to batch convert Word files to pdf

How do I batch convert Word files to pdf using Automator

Here is a drag/drop AppleScript solution that uses the command-line LibreOffice capability to convert MS Word (.doc, .docx) files into PDF. Drag/Drop a single file, or a folder of Word documents, and it will write the respective PDF back to the original file location. When it is done, an OS X Notification will slide out onto the Desktop and provide the count of processed files.
Save this AppleScript as a Desktop application that remains open after running. If you ignore the latter, the notification will not show when it is done. Tested on Mavericks 10.9.5.
property name_extension : {"doc", "docx"}
global fileCnt
on open of finderObjects
    set fileCnt to 0
    repeat with i in (finderObjects)
    if folder of (info for i) is true then
        tell application "Finder" to set temp to (entire contents of i)
        repeat with j in (temp)
            process_files(j)
        end repeat
    else
          process_files(i)
    end if
    end repeat
