Force PDF to open in a new window from URL

Is there a way to save a PDF so that it forces IE to open a
new window when linking to it from a web site? I have no control
over the HTML code on the site but I need the PDF to not hijack the
window containing the link.

Forcing pdf to open in current browser window

I have a pdf (that is to be viewed through a browser) with
links that open other pdfs. Currently, when I click on the links in
this pdf, they open the linked pdfs in a separate browser window.
Is there a way to force it to open in the same window and just have
users hit the back button to go back to the previous pdf?
Thanks!

The latest version is 11.0.6. Whether that's available to you depends on the version of Mac OS you're running.

Force iView to open in a new window when using NavigationTarget

Scenario - Portal Version 6.0 - NW2004 SP16 - WAS 6.40
A Custom iView is used to gain access to an application running outside of the portal. The user's credentails to the target application are recorded in the portal's UME via user mapping.
I want a user to be able to click a hyperlink to this iView that has been embedded in an email, and have the user gain access to the target application by 'going via the portal'. The url that I use is of the form:
http //<my_portal_server>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://49a8add355f836061e6279f389cdc72e&open=/page&id=100&proc=10067&flag=1
This is working, the user is first taken to the portal's login page, and upon successful login to the SAP portal, user is then directed to the target iView, and is logged in automatically to the target application, and able to use the target application.
>BUT EVEN though the iveiw is configured to open in a new window it does not. It always opens in the main content area, and it always opens in this area in a height of about 40 pixels. The iView properties are set to FULLPAGE.
>If I invoke this iView using the portal's standard built in navigation, it does open in a new window
>It just won't open in a new window when using direct URL to the iView WHY?
How can I get the target iView to open in a new window under all circumstances?
Do I need to pass more information in the URL?
Are there a standard list of URL parameters somewhere that influence the behaviour of the NavigationTarget? I have seen reference to 'context', 'mode' etc but can't find a list of valid parameters?

Open swf in new window from parent swf

I'm making a gallery for some flash banners that I had
created in AS3. When I click on a "launch" button, I wanted the
flash banner swf to open in a new window separate from the parent
swf (the gallery). I also wanted the parent swf to remain open.
Is this possible and what would the code look like for
something like this?

ok, I should've also mentioned this, the flash gallery I'm
making is not for the web, it's more for just opening in a flash
player. So I don't really want it to open in a new browser window,
but rather a new swf window, if there is such a thing.

Open iviews in new window from detailed navigation context menu function

hello,
when we click in the detail navigation menu and in the context menu (because many of ours users are used to right click to open a link in a new window on the internet) on the functionnality "open in new window", the start page is always display instead of the corresponding iview ...
could you tell me if there is a configuration into the portal to :
1- suppress the function "open in new window" from the context menu in the detailed navigation !
2- make the iview displayed into the new window really the iview desired !
best regards,
Olivier.

Hi Olivier,
The frist part is very precise. Not possible. Period. The reason is that the links are calling JS and not directly calling a http target.
About the second part: Within the Light Framework, you create a Light Detailed Navigation. And in this case, the links are direct http links. So with that, you have what you want.
For the Light Framework see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/43/0174a642406db7e10000000a422035/frameset.htm and around.
Hope it helps

Open Page in new window from button

I have a button that need to open up a page in new window when clicked. The page it needs to open is dynamic and stored in an item called 'P0_STUDENT_RECORD_LIST'.
I added this to item pre-element text:
<button onclick="javascript:PopupSTUDENT()">
How can I get the function to open the page name stored in the item?
Is there a different method I should use?
function PopupSTUDENT(){ popUp('f?p=&APP_ID.:DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME:&SESSION.::NO:::');}

how about this:
function PopupStudent()
javascript:window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:&DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME.:&SESSION.::NO.:::','Popup','width=800,height=500,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');

Opening website in new window from Digital Editions

I have links inside my .epub but when using a PC they either open inside the frame(with no ability to scroll or navigate) or tell you that you can open in new window. The latter is fine but there's no clear demarcation as to when this will happen. How do I make it so all links open to new window automatically?

getURL('moreInfo.cfm?ID='+data.dataProvider[data.selectedIndex]['ID'],
"_blank")

PDF-in web browser - open link in new window

I've done a lot of searching for JavaScript code to solve this: if a PDF is being viewed in a web browser, and the user clicks a link in that PDF, the default is to have the linked page replace the original. I would like it to open a new window in the browser. E.g., if there is a link in the PDF to abc.com, then when the user clicks that link, the original PDF stays open and a new window opens to abc.com. Any help?

In the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference look up the app.launchURL() method. The second parameter is a boolean value that describes whether or not you want the URL to open in a new window.

PDF to b opened in a new window or in a download frame

when using hyperlink in iweb pdf file is opening in the same window. how can i make so the file is opening either in a new window or in a "save as" frame?

If you upload the pdf file to the server manually and then link to it via the Inspector/Hyperlink pane with the Link to option An External Page (with the checkbox to open in a new window selected) you can have the pdf file open in a new window where it can be viewed or downloaded.
Click to view full size
This demo page has an example of that: LinkTestPage . Look for the text box with the following text: This text box is linked to view/download a pdf file". Click on it to view. In the view window there is a download button (second from left).

Acrobat 9.0;PDF is black screen/want new window

Hello,
Two problems:
I installed Acrobat Pro 9.0 as part of Creative Suite. Now PDFs open as a black screen normally (with some opening as normal.
I use Mac with 10.8.4 and Safari.
Also, I want PDFs to open in a new window. It is frustrating for the PDF to open in my browser window.
Do I need to install Acrobat Reader? Doesn't Acrobat Pro 9.0 have a reader?
This is a new Mac. On my old Mac PDFs opened as a new window . . . it just did it that way.
Thanks for help,
JoAnn

Acrobat 9 may not be completely compatible with 10.8.4. Whether pdfs in a browser open in a new window is up to the coder of the webpage. Not Acrobat. If you right-clik on the url, you can choose to open the pdf in a new window.

Open Link in New Window creates an invisible window (visible after restarting).

When I use the right mouse button menu to Open Link in New Window from a web page it creates an invisible window. That is, I cannot see the window but it is listed in the Firefox Window menu. This newly opened window cannot be selected either by mouse or from the Window menu. However, if I quit and restart Firefox the new window appears as 0 pixels wide (i.e., a 1 pixel wide vertical line) and I can select it (by mouse or Window menu) and zoom it from the Window menu. After zooming I can operate on the window normally.

Get Firebug and inspect the element. You'll see that it actually is this:
onclick="javascript:saw.runThis
URL('saw.dll?PortalProperties&_scid=To2OnvCVXpY&PortalPath=/shared/paint/_portal/PoC\x2520FINS&Done=ManagePortals\x2526Done\x253dAdmin');return false" href="javascript:void(null)" FF doesn't even give you the "Open..." options and all IE versions as of 7 show them but actually don't do anything when you invoke them.

I can not open one more new window of FF by double-clicking on FF icon

I can open only 1 browser window FF
I want to open another.
- I can open by selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu. It's normal.
- But I can't open by double-clicking on FF icon. The message happens in this case: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Before double-clicking on FF, I checked processs at Task Manager and just one process "firefox.exe" is running.
I try many ways to troubleshoot this problem such as:
- install FF again
- run safe mode
- Update all add-on
- add new profile in Profile manager and run with new one
- I follow the anwser of post: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/770203
But can't fix this problem.
I'm looking forward to your earliest reply
Thank so much

There is the Free iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.
http://itube-grabber.en.softonic.com/mac
Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27604/itubex
Lastly: How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:
http://perian.org/#watch
It's the video at the bottom of the page.
Last but not least (as some of the above may not work with Snow Leopard or Lion) there is the 'pwn trick':
For example, the full youtube site for your movie is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC2XIGMI ... e=youtu.be
As soon as the movie starts, pause it and add 'pwn' in front of the youtube part of the url so it looks like this:
http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=bC2XI ... e=youtu.be
Hit Return and then follow the instructions.

Target for a .pdf with the link target _blank does not open in a new window.

I have a simple html document with links to .pdf documents all set to _blank but only one opens in a new window. The others open as _self. Changing the target doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any idea as to why that is happening?

The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

It's especially handy if your site gets to the point where you have more than about 20 pages.
