How can I set web links to open in a new window?

I'm using the links tool in Acrobat 5.05 to create links in my pdf to other websites, not documents. When the pdf is posted online, I need those links to open in a new window. Now they open in the same window, which subjects the viewer to using the back button to return to the originating pdf and waiting for it to completely reload. This is a sizeable pdf file, making that very time consuming. I tried Un-checking the option about "Open Cross Document Links in Same Window" but tests indicated that it made no difference.
If you need more info to clarify my question, please just ask. Any suggestions in regard to solving this will be appreciated.
My apologies if a similar question has already been asked/answered. I did not find reference to it in my search.
Thank you.

You can use JavaScript for this. For example:
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com", true);
More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference. Note that this method is new to Acrobat 7. You can still use Acrobat 5 to create the JavaScript, but it won't work for versions less than 7, or for most users of non-Adobe PDF viewers. If you go this route, you should add some code that checks the version of Acrobat (Reader), and only execute the above code if 7 or above.

When I click on a web link to open in a new window - it has double bars, no URL...

When I click on a web link to open in a new window - it has double Browser bars (chrome), no URL. I close that window and do it again it often works correctly.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

How can I force a link to open in a new tab on a Mac!?

On Mac, CMD + Click only opens a link in a new tab if that link is located on that same subdomain and domain. If the link goes to another domain or subdomain it will just ignore the click!!!
For example, on www.cnn.com I can CMD+Click on a number of article and they will open in a new tab. However, if the article is to a money.cnn.com or to some other website my CMD+click will be ignored.
Also, would be nice to do the same in gmail. Actually, in gmail the link opens in another tab, but you are forced into that tab, so again the expected behavior of opening in another tab while remaining on the current page is being ignored.
Seems to be an ongoing issue for a few years a no one has provided a decent answer other than install a plug-in. Also, several 'about:config' options I've read about only talk about behavior when opening a new window, nothing dealing with the ignored clicks.

guig2, thanks for the response, but I don't believe this will help. Of the TABs options in preferences the only possibly relevant one is to force a link that would normally open in a new window to open as a tab instead.
As for the plugin the two 'secret options' it talks about, I have already tried, which are basically a twist on the preference options.
It also seems from the reviews of the plugin that it doesn't always work, or doesn't allow you to select which site open in a new tab, which is what I want.
Is there some way to force firefox to interpret CMD+Click as a right-click->"Open in new tab," basically the context menu always works and is the expected behavior for CMD+Click (which doesn't always do this, possible due to the page modifying the behavior).

How can I set that pop-ups open in a new tab insted of new page/window?

Dear Firefox Representative,
I'm a regular Firefox user. Since I updated to Firefox 4, all pop-ups open in a new window insted of a new tab. Altough I set in the settings that new pages should open in new tabs, all pop-ups show up in new resized windows with the new firefox.
Thanks for any help,
Tib

How can I make a specific page open in a new window when clicked from a menu?

Don't know if its possible but I have one specific page I want to open in a new window in the browswer when clicked on from a widget menu. I know how to go in and put the coding in but it would be nice if there is some option in Muse to do that already. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

ryanj4799 You'll need to change the Menu Type to Manual in the widget's options and add the links yourself. Then go to the Hyperlinks panel. Check the option to open in a new tab/window.

I have just noticed that the new edit tools don't allow for setting up links to open in a new window. This is a very basic tool. Can it be incorporated ASAP.

previous editor made i t very easy for clients to create links in text that opened in new windows rather than existing window. I consider this a basic tool. Can it be re-incorporated ASAP.

I've made a word in a paragraph a link, I can't get the link to open in a new window

Here's my text and how I've written the link:
("In addition to the four issues on this map, <style>a:link {color:#b8dc70;text-decoration:none;} a:visited {color:#c8c8c8;}a:hover {color:#e69400;}a:active {color:#c97777;}</style> <a href =\"http://grassrootschange.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Preemption-FactSheet.pdf\" >peemption</a>has been used to weaken grassroots movements in dozens of other health and safety issues, ranging from environmental justice to fire prevention.");
I know this must be very simple, but I'm at a total loss. Thank you in advance

Hi redesign, thank you so much, this did the trick. I have a question. After tinkering a bit, In the end the only change in my link (other than "target="self" was changing from " to ' for example:
('In addition to the four issues on this map, <style>a:link {color:#b8dc70;text-decoration:none;} a:visited {color:#c8c8c8;}a:hover {color:#e69400;}a:active {color:#c97777;}</style> <a href =\"http://grassrootschange.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Preemption-Fact Sheet.pdf\"target="self" >peemption</a>has been used to weaken grassroots movements in dozens of other health and safety issues, ranging from environmental justice to fire prevention.');
Would you be kind enough to explain why, just so I know for the future.
Thank you so much.

How can I set a book to open full-page?

I can't track the information I'm looking for, so I need to ask:
How can I set a book to open full-page and not with the graphic table-of-contents? I'd like to lead in with a video (when the book is first launched), and have the video hand off to the copyright page, full page, not where the reader has to pick it from the graphical table of contents.
Many thanks for your help!

I'm a frequent user of the Reminders app but I want to set a reminder that will automatically open another app.
Maybe I should make a suggestion to apple to include it in the next iOS update.

Add them as a bookmark in the Safari web browser. You can sync bookmarks between your computer and iPad too using iTunes or iCloud.

How can I get embedded advertising links to open in a new window?

I am working with Muse and have tried editing the HTML but it didn't work.
Thanks, Sandy

If you are inserting links as text and then through Hyperlink adding external link , then you can setup the link to open in a new window.
http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/using/creating-hyperlinks.html#id_29862
In case the link is included in any html frame , you can declare target="_blank" which would open the links with a new window.
Thanks,

When I clicked on a link, it opens into a new window. I would prefer that it opens as a new tab. Does anybody know how to change this? Thanks

Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to divert all JavaScript window.open() calls to a new tab.

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):
