Hello,
There are two types of buttons in APEX. The first is a button in a region position. In this type, you can use a target URL, so you can use the same URL as in your list.
The second type is button display among items. This type can only submit your page, so you can't use it to open your PDF document. However, you can define your own HTML button, and use the onclick event to open your document. The following post show you how you can define your own button - Re: Popup acting like a "Select List with Redirect" ? .
Hope this helps,
Arie.

How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

How do you get PSE12 to stop opening the keyword menu at the top of the screen

How do you get PSE12 to stop opening the keyword menu at the top of the screen when you want to isolate tagged photos?????????????
it takes up 1/4 of the screen. This is so stupid. PSE10 had it done right, just a click box and boom all the photos tagged would be there!
This makes NO sense the way it is done now.
How do you turn it off, please . I am ready to send this back to amazon and go back to 10.

Hope you can figure it out, I sure can't!

How do you get a topic to open in a custom window when accessed from the index?

I right click on an index key word and open Properties. There is only one topic associated with this key word. I click on the Advanced tab, select the custom window that I created. Click OK, compile, etc.
When I try to access this topic from the index, it still opens in the default pane. When I access it from the TOC, it opens in the custom window. How can I get the topic to open in the custom window from the index?
Thanks!

Hello,
The link might not work in Preview (When the option to open link in new tab is checked) however it will work if you do a File>Preview page/site in Browser.
Muse Preview has only one tab and cannot open another tab/window which is why this functionality does not work in Muse Preview. but works in preview in Browser and in published site.

How do I get Adobe Acorbat to open a .pdf file from a sharepoint library without having to checkout the file

I have a customer that is using Adobe Acrobat pro version 10.1. When they try and open a .pdf file from a SharePoint site, the user is prompted to check out and open the file or open the file. Is there a way to get Adobe Acrobat to open the .pdf file without prompting to check out or open?
Thanks
Jim

This is mostly a lion thing, rather than a PSE thing. To disable applications opening where they left off last time for all the programs on your computer, go to system preferences>general and untick this box:
You can also do on a per-program basis, but it's more complicated and the best thing to do is to search around for directions on the web and see which way is least uncomfortable for you.
There's an odd little glitch in PSE that it opens the last image you had open, even if you closed it before quitting last time. Adobe says this is correct behavior, but of course it isn't.

How do you get a website to open in it's own 'app' instead of safari tab

Something I have noticed with the iPad that it is possible for webpages to run as if they are in their own app.
For example, the BBC iplayer (www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer). Open this site in safari, add an icon for it to your home screen, then when you use this icon to open the iplayer it opens as if it is an app, it doesn't have the address bar or back and forward buttons etc. Also when you double click the home button the iplayer icon shows up with the rest of the apps (usually you just get safari there) and if you open safari and look at the pages you have open it doesn't show there. It really does look as though it is an app, although what I'm guessing is happening is that it is open in a new instance of safari.
My question is, does anyone know how to get a site to do this? I'm assuming there are some meta tags in the HTML but I can't find any references to this being possible let alone how to do it.
Would really like to get this working on some of my sites so if anyone has any ideas would be much appreciated
Thanks

No, what you're seeing is the actual webpage

Actually, it does. Or should do, ay least. It does for me
Also when you double click the home button the iplayer icon shows up with the rest of the apps (usually you just get safari there) and if you open safari and look at the pages you have open it doesn't show there. It really does look as though it is an app, although what I'm guessing is happening is that it is open in a new instance of safari.
That's correct

The site doesn't do it. Safari does it. All you have on your Home screen is the iPad equivalent of a webloc, a small text snippet containing the URL for whatever page you saved.

How do you get DNG files to open in windows?

After saving RAW files as DNGs I find I can't open them in Windows 7.

In general, you wouldn't want to open DNG photos in Windows 7 somehow, you would want to open them in Photoshop Elements. Windows 7 cannot show you the edits (probably Windows 7 can't even show you the unedited DNG, but I'm not sure about that anymore).
In general, you don't want to edit a RAW and then save as a DNG, I'm not sure you gain anything saving an edited RAW as a DNG, but it sure takes up a lot of disk space. If you edit a RAW and want to save your edited photo, you can click on "DONE", which saves your edits, the next time you open the photo in PSE you will see your edits and you can make use of (print, upload, etc.) the edited photo; or you can click on "Open Image" which takes you to the PSE Editor where you can save it as a JPG or TIF so people who don't have PSE can view the photo.

How do i get my computer to open a pdf attachment instead of it requiring me to save it instead?

I have a mac powerbood g4. whenever i try to open a pdf document from a search engine or as an attachment to email or as a movie ticket it i can't 'open' the document, even if i have adobe open in another window. i'm always required to save it somewhere, and even then it doesn't always save as a pdf document, but sometimes as another type of file that my computer doesn't even recognize, as occurs with online movie tickets with cineplex.

Please post a screenshot that shows what you mean. Be careful not to include any private information.

How can I get a button to open a specific folder instead of opening a file?

I am using CS3 and ultimately outputting an interactive PDF file that I will be the "landing page" to launch files and folder structures. I have no problem launching the files but I am not a successful getting it to open a folder. I have tried several ways using the "go to file" and the "go to URL" actions and have pasted the folder path into each of these options assuming that it would work.
Can anyone give me some clue as to what I am doing incorrectly?

It's definitely something that cannot be done in InDesign. It might be able to be done within Acrobat Pro, but you'd need to ask in the Acrobat forums.

How can you get CMD + L to open a new window, when all windows are closed?

In Firefox 28 and earlier, you could hit Apple + L (CMD + L) when no FF windows were open, and it would pull up a blank page with the cursor blinking in the address bar.
After installing FF 29, when you hit CMD + L (with no windows open) it just plays the system alert sound and does nothing.
I want to be able to hit CMD + TAB to gain control of an idle Firefox, and then be able to hit CMD + L to gain control of a BLANK address bar.
Every other version of Firefox I've ever used did this, so am I missing something here? Any ideas?
Note: I realize that you can hit CMD + N to launch a new window and then CMD + L to select the text within the address bar. I'm not looking to re-train my habits within Firefox, but simply want that feature like it was in the previous 28 versions.

Well, after an entire week without a word from Mozilla, I officially give up.
I understand that new software will have bugs when it is released. I understand that the bugs are fixed in the order of greatest impact/priority. I also understand that my issue is not a bug, rather a feature that was inexplicably removed.
A couple of things I cannot understand —
Why would Mozilla remove '''ANY''' features from their software when they are touting this as the most customizable web browser ever? That is obviously not logical and will be to their detriment in the long run.
Furthermore, if a person did get on here just to complain about this update, they were immediately met with a canned response from a moderator, which offered a few options to make Firefox '''LOOK''' like the previous version. That speaks volumes about this update and the developers' confidence in it. The person who gets on here with a legitimate problem asking why a feature was removed — they get '''NO''' response from a moderator. Again, this speaks volumes. I am not even asking for an immediate solution to this problem, just the acknowledgement that there is a problem. On top of that, especially in the development of software, the old adage particularly rings its truest — ''If it ain't broke, don't fix it.''
Lastly, I think we can all agree that Firefox 29 is a blatant ripoff of Google Chrome. If I wanted Google Chrome, that is exactly what I would have downloaded. That pains me not only as a devout Firefox user for nearly 10 years, but especially as I have donated over $200 to the Mozilla Foundation in that time. In other words, I have financially supported the development of a software that has become absolutely indifferent to its users' needs, and moreover, they have now resorted to copying off of their neighbor.
I have since rolled back versions — all the way to Netscape Navigator 9 — which seems to have just about as much functionality as the bungled mess that is Firefox 29.
I genuinely appreciate all of the time and effort that goes in to creating open-source software, and I financially support the projects that I feel adhere to the open-source philosophy. That said, Mozilla.org seems to be straying away from this philosophy, to the point where, for me, it is simply time for a change.
Thanks for the memories, Firefox!

How do you get one Button to raise the Clicking of another Button?

Hello,
I have a hide/show region that is controlled by a button (ButtonA). This button and region is pretty far down in the page.
So the client has requested that I created a second button (ButtonB) and place it at the very top of the page, and wants for this button (ButtonB) when clicked to 'click' the hide/show button below (ButtonA).
Can you please advise how to do this, ex:
<INPUT type="button" value="Show All Regions" name="ButtonB" onClick="what do I place here to raise the 'click' of button A ">.
Any advice would be appreciated as I must demo this feature to the client tomorrow morning.
Many thanks,
Laura

Depends what type of button it is.
If it's a button in a region position, use the optional redirect section
Set the Target to "URL" and enter URL TArget as something like:
javascript:function_to_call();Alternatively if its a region item button, it's a bit more tricky.
What I did was create a new button template (copied from the standard "Button" template, called "Button - link to attribute") and replaced the
<a href="#LINK#">bits with
<a href="#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#">you can then add the code (as above) to the attribute property of the button.

How do you get a link to open a flash flv video?

embed it into a 1040pix wide page. When I link it, the video is
blown up to 1040pix wide & just a little distorted!
Is this possible/easy to do?thanx
