Have PDF links open in new browser window.

Hello. I'm new to creating PDFs with active links. I created a PDF that is linked within a page. When that link is clicked it opens up the PDF in a new window. I want the links in that PDF to open up in a new browser window. Is that possible? I don't see the option in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
I have another question. The links don't work at all in mobile devices. Is there something I have to do to have the links work in an iPad, iPhone, etc?

Is the link an HTML link, or within a PDF? Is it a URL link or a file link?

  • Want To Have Flash Project Open In New Browser Window

    Hi,
    My project outputs and plays perfect to Flash (let default to
    Flash 7) but when viewing it (via a link from a web page) it opens
    in a "next" window and at the end, if you use the X (EXIT) button
    from the player control bar it wants to close the browser window
    and does not take you back to the webpage (where I have the link to
    play). I cannot seem to find an option in the Preferences or during
    output to make the player open in a "new" browser window. Is it
    possible there is a browser setting for this instead of setting in
    Captivate? (IE 6 or 7) Thanks for any help/suggestions!

    Hi leh1, and welcome to the User Community for Captivate!
    The window in which any content plays is determined by the
    code contained for the link,
    in the web-page from which it is launched. In a nutshell,
    you add these parameters to the link when it is created in the
    "Parent" window.
    Below is a snippet from a Menu Builder project in which the
    links to "Project1" and "Project2" are set to open in a "New"
    window, without chrome (note the many "
    =no" following an equal sign), at a size of 720 pixels by
    540 pixels ... the snip below shows a link to "Project1.htm", a
    document containing a Captivate movie. I have bolded the specific
    entries that control the type window ("OpenCustomLink") and the
    size of that window ("width=720,height=540"):
    <P style="cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; position:
    absolute; left: 90px; top: 149px; text-decoration: none; font:
    normal 18pt Arial; color: #000000" title="Project 1" onclick="
    OpenCustomLink('project1.htm', '_blank',
    'scrollbars=no,status=no,
    titlebar=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,
    fullscreen=no,
    width=720,height=540'); "
    onmouseover="this.style.color='#0000FF'; "
    onmouseout="this.style.color='#000000';">Project 1</P>
    (some spaces inserted to avoid horizontal scroll)
    All of which is to say, the target window is controlled from
    the link in the parent document. I wouldn't suggest you just
    copy-paste the above code, as I took liberties with it. I
    would suggest that you can do this yourself with your own
    HTML editor (Dreamweaver, etc.), or even better, get your local
    web-guru to do it for you.
    All the best!!

  • Link opening in new browser window

    For the links in my flash navigation at the bottom right
    corner, I'd like them to open up in the same browser window. When I
    open the page for the first time, any link I click on will open in
    a new browser window. But after this, all links open in the current
    window. Any idea why this might be happening?
    http://vantageinter.com/
    If this helps - the script I include for each link follows
    this format:
    on (release) {
    getURL("
    http://www.vantageinter.com/profile.html",
    self)
    }

    it is _self not self
    and if you don't include it at all, by default the parameter
    is set to _self

  • File Open Issues - document library pdf file to open in new browser window

    Hi
    I have a requirement to open the document library containing pdf file to open in new browser window. So far I have tried following steps but could not get it to work.
    1. Changing Document library advance setting to open the document in browser (have tried others as well).
    2. SharePoint web application setting changed as Permissive instead of Strict. Here the pdf file opens in browser but redirect from document library instead of new window(Also tried adding Target=”_blank” and no change).
    3. Executed the powershell script to adding MIME type to see if it works but no change.
    $webApp = Get-SPWebApplication http://SharePointSite
    If ($webApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes -notcontains "application/pdf")
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Adding PDF MIME Type..."
    $webApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes.Add("application/pdf")
    $webApp.Update()
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Added and saved."
    Else
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "PDF MIME type is already added."
    4. Open the Doc library and modified ALLItems.aspx to add Target= “_blank”
    5. I have already tried solutions suggested in the link:

    Appreciate if there are any working solution from any of you. Many Thanks

    I found a solution which works only in the development. No idea when I compared, Browser MIME type is enabled, STRICT browser type is configured for web application. on the document library advance setting, default to open in new browser. Both configurations
    are identical but I am able to open pdf file in new window in my developing using jquery script
    http://blog.ithinksharepoint.com/2011/02/21/open-pdf-files-from-a-document-library-in-a-new-window/ but the same does not work on production server :(
    Any help experts?

  • Do NOT want to open link in a new browser window - iWeb '09

    I do not want links that navigate around my website to open a new browser window every time. Right now, for example, From my main page, I click a link to a secondary page, it opens it in a new window, I then click the link back to my main page, and it opens in a new window. I now have 3 windows open.
    I am not using the navigation bar as it set ups with iWeb (I have it hidden). I am using hyperlinks I attached to text boxes. Would this problem be remedied if I was using the navigation bar? If so, is there anyway to edit the appearance of the navigation bar and it's location on the page?
    Primarily though, I would like my text hyperlinks to just navigate my page and not open in new windows.
    Thanks!

    And that's the way it should be.
    If you look at this page about navigation you'll see that the main navigation uses eternal links and the sub navigation internal ones....

  • Adobe Reader: PDF  to open a new browser or cross links?

    Is there a way when we click an image link within the PDF page on IE browser to open a new browser or cross link I've tried to uncheck the open cross links in same window, but it seems not working...is there another settings in the IE7 browser or in Adobe Reader8 I need to change??

    I´ve got the same problem.
    I want to open a link to a website from a PDF stored in MS Sharepoint. This PDF is opened in a browser window (IE7), and the link always open the linked URL in the same window.
    I tried to change the same options as you too, but nothing changes.
    I can't believe that there is no way to do such a simple thing.
    Could anyone tell us if exists a way to include some option in the link like the "target='_blank' in HTML?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do I open a new browser window from Flash

    I wish to open a new browser window from Flash and when the new window closes to return to the location from whence I started.
    ThomasChen

    The command to open a new window would be the "_blank" part of a command to link to a web page in the code below.
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.anothersite.com", "_blank"));
    As far as the new window closing and getting back to where you were in the original window, I don't understand where that original window might have gone to... You should be wherever you last left it.

  • Can I open a new browser window from a movie clickbox

    Hi,
    This is a last question from me, I hope. (I'm within a month
    of delivery, and my boss keeps saying 'a user's asked for this or
    that', but I'm meeting many of their requests with technical
    obstacles. Oh dear.)
    Here's the question: From a caption clickbox within a movie,
    can I link to a new browser window? (I have a Help button at the
    top of my movie and a user tester rightly pointed out that it
    breaks them out of their movie and they can't get back. So my only
    solution is to open it in a new browser window, but as I'm within
    the movie, I need to link to the new window from a caption or
    button, not an html page.)
    If a Javascript command would work, could I get the exact
    code to put in the box? I haven't been able to get any
    Javascripting to work through Captivate.
    If nothing works out, I'll have to scrub the Help button from
    every page, but I'd rather be sure before I do it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kim

    Hi and thanks for both of the replies.
    Phew! I love it when there's a way out of my problem! Is it
    my imagination or are the options: Current, New, Parent and Top not
    described in the Captivate help? What is the Parent? I would have
    thought a window would have spawned a child. And I guess Top is a
    new window that's always on top? Is it described in the help
    anywhere beside the page I found that doesn't describe it? (I guess
    so far, I've been blindly and successfully using Current.)
    I assume I can't remove the toolbars on my new windw without
    going through an extra link? If that's the case, I can live with
    that. I wouldn't want to make the user click two links just for a
    help page.
    Thanks again,
    Kim
    PS. No wonder my Javascript never works if I can't even
    notice the options!

  • How to open a new browser window without toolbar, location, and menu bars from AIR?

    I have the following problem in my Flex+AIR application. I need to embed an ActiveX component that has JavaScript API inside my application. I tried to embed it inside <mx:HTML> component but unfortunately, AIR doesnot support plug-ins or ActiveX controls. So I've decided to open it in a new browser window. I tried navigateToURL(...) method but it has two problems - it is opening a new tab in the existing browser window and there is no way for me to configure the new browser window appearance, like removing toolbar, menu bar, location bar, etc. Then I tried to open a new window from JavaScript running inside <mx:HTML> component using window.open(...) API but it doesn't open a new window at all.
    Is there any way for me to open a new browser window without toolbar, location bar, etc. (which will run ActiveX control, so it cannot be AIR window) from inside AIR?
    Best regards,
    Arkady.

    Is it possible to open a new browser window using JSP?a JSP page is also an HTML page, this is client side stuff, you can do it with JavaScript.

    The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
    If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
    As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
    * The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
    On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
    new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
    I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
    I suggest a couple of things.
    - Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
    - A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
    Edit 1:
    ..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.

  • How can I open a new browser window!!!  Very Challenging!!!

    I have a form (name=MAIN) with a submit button (name=Button A). Button A opens a new browser window (name=SEARCH), via an HTML form target tag (<FORM TARGET=A>). Window SEARCH has multiple submit buttons (10-15). Each button has a different action which is handled by a servlet (form name and button name are passed to a servlet as a hidden field in the form to determine the action), which is setup to be an action handler. When a button in the SEARCH window is clicked the results are retrieved from an Oracle database and should be displayed in the text fields in window MAIN.
    For example, some results may be displayed in window SEARCH (_self) and and other results may be required to be sent to window MAIN depending on the button clicked.
    How can I setup window SEARCH so each button can have a different target window (some may be window MAIN or other windows)? Using a form tag for each button doesn't give desirable results. Is there a way to do this with JSP or some form of Java code?
    A form tag can only have one target. Basically I have one form with multiple submit buttons. How can I get it to send each submit buttons results to a specific window?
    Thanks.

    <!-- try this -->
    <script language="JavaScript1.2">
    function mysubmit(mytarget){
    document.myform.target=mytarget;
    document.myform.submit();
    function validation(myform){
    //validation stuff
    return [true | false];
    </script>

    I close a Firefox browser and at a later time want to open a new browser window but get message "Firefox is still running and I need to shut down before I can open a new session" I do not want to shut down as this is laborious - I can go into task manager and processes and click on Firefox and end session that way but this is not the solution. Firefox seems to be running in background but I cannot open a new session window without doing on of the above.
