How to "go to a page in another document" without closing currently open document?

I've created a form that used a button to jump to another pdf document. This second document is included in the first document as an attachment so that the whole package can be sent to people as one document.
It works well but the problem is that when the button is selected the document that is already open is closed (albeit with a save document prompt).
There seems to be no way to keep the existing document open whilst the second document (the linked document) is opened.
Is there a solution to this?

Go to the button's Properties and edit the "Go to a page view" action
you've created. Edit the "Open In" option and set it to "New Window".

    You would need Adobe Acrobat to do that, not Adobe Reader.

  • How to setup a link that is of the type "Go to a page in another document"?

    Is there a direct way for a javascript to setup a link that is equivalent to the acrobat link type  you get when you add a link of the type “Go to a page in another document”?
    Tools-Advanced Editing-Link tool, make a box
    Check: Go to page view, Next (Create go to view dialog opens)
    Open second document and go to page
    Click “Create go to view dialog” to set up link
    Result is a link, when view by link properties, with an action of
    Go to a page in another document
    File: C:\My Documents\File2.pdf
    Page: 43
    Zoom level: Custom
    I have a java script in a setAction of a link that I think does the job:
    l.setAction("var otherDoc = app.openDoc('../Folder2/File2.pdf', this);otherDoc.pageNum = 1 - 1;");
    But is there a more direct way that actual sets up a “a link of the type Go to a page in another document” so if it's "advanced edited" its the same as the manual set links?
    I would like to setup a set of pdf documents, on the hard disk of a PC or Mac, that can be open with acrobat pro running on the same computer and have the link jump to, and open in a new window, in acrobat pro, to a given page of a second document in the set.

    Code example in more detail:
    /* Insert document level JavaScript to set disclosed = true.
       This will run when the document is opened.*/
    this.addScript("setDisclosed", "this.disclosed = true;");
    // Search through the document for the word “Acrobat” and create a link around that word.
    for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
        var numWords = this.getPageNumWords(p);
        for (var i=0; i<numWords; i++)
            var ckWord = this.getPageNthWord(p, i, true);
            if ( ckWord == "Acrobat")
                var q = this.getPageNthWordQuads(p, i);
                // Convert quads in default user space to rotated
                // User space used by Links.
                m = (new Matrix2D).fromRotated(this,p);
                mInv = m.invert()
                r = mInv.transform(q)
                r=r.toString()
                r = r.split(",");
                l = addLink(p, [r[4], r[5], r[2], r[3]]);
                l.borderColor = color.blue
                l.borderWidth = 1
                //l.setAction("this.getURL('http://www.adobe.com/');");
               l.setAction("var otherDoc = app.openDoc('../Folder2/File2.pdf', this);otherDoc.pageNum = 3 - 1;");
    Current Systems in use to create documents with links and view them:
    Windows XP SP3
    Word 2003 SP3
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.4.4
    Or just to view them:
    Mac OS 10 Lion version 10.7.4
    Acrobat 9 pro version 9.5.1
    (note I have limited understanding of Mac’s)

    If you use buttons instead, it is possible to script adding the actions that you want. It involves creating a properly constructed FDF, saving it, and then importing it into the document. Buttons can be made to appear just like links. For more information, see: http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=6338

  • How can I add a link in a cell in pages to another document

    Hello I am new to this so be gentle with me
    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add a link in a (table) cell in pages to another document on my Mac, so when I click on it, it will take me to the document
    Many Thanks
    Charles

    As far as I remember you couldn't do it in PAges 09 and Pages 5 has lost over 90 features that Pages 09 has so I would say no you can't. I can't test it right now. I had a quick look in the help (http://help.apple.com/pages/mac/5.0/?lang=en) and could find that you could link to another document from anywhere let alone a table cell.

    New owner here.  I see that in printing I can select one page and print same.  How do I select numerous pages from a document and print only those selected pages? I would not think that I can only select one page at a time.  Thanks much

    Hello @MYBOU2 ,
    Welcome to the HP forum.
    What you are asking should not be too hard. The key factor right now is: what is your operating system?
    The process is different on a Mac compared to a Windows computer.
    This link explains how to do what you want with windows 7.

  • Hyperlink with an action 'Go to a page in another document' in IE browser.

    When the PDF Document is opened in IE, Clicking on a Hyperlink with an action 'Go to a page in another document' is not navigating to the proper destination page.
    This happens when the destination document is already opened in IE once and cached.

    Hi Vinayaka,
    I am unable to replicate this at my end. I am using Acrobat 11.0.10 on Windows 7 and IE11
    Below are the steps I followed :
    Create a link and select the "Custom link" option, click "Next",  select the "Options" tab, select "Go to page view", click the "Add: button, open the file to the page you want to link to, click the "Set link" button.

  • How can I rearrange the pages in a PDF without changing the assigned paged numbers.

    How can I rearrange the pages in a PDF without changing the assigned paged numbers? These correspond to the original document folio numbers.

    In theory it would be possible to 'record and play back' the page numbers using a folder-level script, but it's far from trivial. You would have to use the doc.movePage() function - presumably driven by a dialog box - to do the page shuffling so there was a way to track what was being done, then swap the page 'labels' of the two affected pages. That's where it gets messy.
    We have functions in the JSAPI which can read and write the page label, but they don't do things in a logical way. The 'getPageLabel()' function simply returns a string, but the 'setPageLabel()' method expects to be told the numbering scheme, prefix, etc. You'd have to parse the string and work out what scheme it was implementing.

    iPhoto on the iPad can be used to make photo books, but not calendars. It is a very different program from the Mac version of iPhoto. I hope you have access to a mac to create your christmas calendar.

    Hi rhirota,
    This can't be done with the CreatePDF service.  To add a bookmark to a PDF, you need Adobe Acrobat. We offer a 30-day trial of Acrobat here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro
