How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser?

How do I get a link within a PDF to open a new tab in a web browser? Previous forums (for earlier versions of InDesign and Acrobat) mention something about JavaScript, but I'm using InDesign CC and Adobe Acrobat Pro CC
Thanks.

When you're looking at the PDF that's on your site, is it opened in the browser or directly i Acrobat/Reader? If in the borwser, do you know if it's being viewed in the browser's default PDF viewer or Acrobat/Reader? It probably won't work in non-Adobe PDF viewers.
Are you saying that when you click the link that two new browser tabs are opened with the same URL, instead of just one as you'd expect, or something else?

How do I make Firefox automatically display my homepage when opening a new tab (instead of a blank page now)?

How do I make Firefox automatically display my homepage when opening a new tab (instead of a blank page now)?
(version 3.6.6 on a Windows7 64-bit rig)

If you are using the latest version of firefox you dont need an addon simply change it in the config

Tab bar will not generate new tab if press+ - Links work- Right Button click 'open in new tab'

Now working with 3.6.18 (I had v4, then v5 briefly), the tab bar 'failed' in v5 so I went back to v3.6.18, but the problem followed.
No matter how many tabs are open I cannot get a new blank tab by clicking the "+" tab on tab bar.
I CANNOT get a new tab by mousing over another tab, right button menu "new tab" will not work.
I CAN select a bookmark "open in new tab" it works.
I CAN do the same on a link, "open in new tab" it opens in a new tab.

Didn't even know I had one, so I told it to display then went to the right hand end where a drop down menu offered "uninstall" and fired that , and again, and again, and again, the sticky little booger grinned back, but would not leave.
Reminded me of early Windows days when Win would die and tell you, "I just lost all your work" "OK?"
Going to look for a big hammer, it used to make me feel good to have the last FINAL word.

On a Mac, how do I setup Firefox to use Command+Enter to open a new tab from the address bar?

I tried this extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/) , but it doesn't appear to support editing the current "Alt+Enter" to change to "Command+Enter".
I have a decade plus of muscle memory using the key next to the space bar + enter to open a new tab. Please help!

There is an older extension named keyconfig (last updated in 2011) which might be able to do it. I haven't used it for quite a while so I'm not sure how well it works any more.

How do I change the page it goes to win opening a new tab?

Okay. So I recently downloaded something that made my new tab into a Bing thing. That's not very descriptive, so... Basically when I used to open a tab, it would just be a blank, white page. But after downloading Gimp 2, an editing software, it also downloaded a Bing search thing every time I open a new tab, even when I clicked for it not to do that. So how do I get my new tab back to being just a blank page?

How to put the focus on the address bar, when opening a new tab in Safari?

Dear users, I'm using Safari 6.0.3 (8536.28.10) under OSX 10.8.3. Until recently, whenever I opened a new tab in Safari, the focus was always on the address bar, which was quite useful. However, since last week, maybe after an update (I don't know exactly), the focus of a new tab is always on the page, not the address bar. How can I go back to the previous configuration? I changed no options, it simply got sudeenly different, and it's quite annoying. Thank you for the help.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

How can I change my settings so that when I open a new tab, it opens a designated home page instead of a blank 'Untitled' page?

I want to be able to set my Firefox tabs so that when I open a new tab, it displays my home page. Right now, when I open a new tab, I get a blank page that's just 'Untitled'.

You can look at one of these extensions:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

Getting popups in Firefox every time I open a new tab, usually with some relvance to past browsing content

Some are for Walmart, some are for Best Buy, and lots of others I can't remember exactly what they were. A few seconds after I open a new tab, an audio message will begin to play, followed by a popup window that is a sales pitch.

How do I edit the default page for when I open a new tab?

I'd like to know how to set which page appears when I open a new tab. I've already set my home page to what I'd like, but I'm having trouble setting which page appears once I open new tabs while I'm already online.

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

Links to threads do not open in new tabs in inPrivate mode (IE11)

Why in InPrivate mode the context menu command "open in new tab" is not available on links to threads?
But in the Answers forums, "open in new tab" is always available.
Also this command is always available in Firefox private windows.
Is this "feature" caused by IE11 or by the MDSN forums?
Thanks,

When you right click? I can't repro this issue. I have it fine in IE11 on Windows 8.

How can I get the links in my PDF to be live on my iPhone/iPad? They are live on my laptop.

I created a PDF from Excel with links in it. When I open it on my laptop, the links are live. When I open it in my mailbox or iBooks on my iPhone and iPad, the links are not live. How do I fix this?

Though you've created links in Excel, they aren't properly designated as "link annotations" in the PDF. I'm not sure if you can make Excel output link annotations in PDF, but I do know that you can use Adobe Acrobat Professional to do this. In the tools panel (of Adobe Acrobat for the desktop), choose "Document Processing", then "Create Links from URL's".
The Adobe Reader for iOS will recognize and display these links. I believe that iBooks will also allow you to tap on the links, though it won't show highlights for them as the Adobe Reader will.

How can I get the link I click on to open automatically in a new tab? Thank you

I am sure that the old version of Firefox, you could click on a link and it would open in another tab, I have looked at Google as well, and I can't see if it was a google option.
Any help appreicated, I expect I am missing the obvious!
