Hyperlinks in PDF to open in non-browser window

Hi there,
First off, this is what I want to achieve, if possible:
1.     Create Word document with hyperlink linking to, predominantly, image files;
2.     Save this as a PDF
3.     When clicking on an image link (hyperlink), e.g. test.jpg it should open the client's default image viewer software and NOT a browser, e.g. Paint or Photoshop or whatever they're using...
Is this possible?
Then... would it then be possible, somehow, to edit the opening of this link so that it either resizes the on-screen panels so that it shows side-by-side, OR open the image on top of the PDF document?
Thank you so much for any help!
Regards,
W

i'm not sure what this means:
app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);

  • We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in a browser window. Is there a later version or other method ?

    We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in Acrobat and the pdf display within the browser window, as within our Online artwork Approval system we use the Acrobat Annotations server to annotate pdfs and publish to the server
    But we can no longer get this plugin to work! Is there a later version ? or is there another way of forcing the pdf to open in a Acrobat Reader application (not the Mac viewer) within the browser and not open another window to display the pdf in Acrobat?

    The latest version is 11.0.6. Whether that's available to you depends on the version of Mac OS you're running.

  • 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?

  • Forcing pdf to open in current browser window

    I have a pdf (that is to be viewed through a browser) with
    links that open other pdfs. Currently, when I click on the links in
    this pdf, they open the linked pdfs in a separate browser window.
    Is there a way to force it to open in the same window and just have
    users hit the back button to go back to the previous pdf?
    Thanks!

  • PDF file opens in a browser window.

    I am creating a page in Dreamweaver that has a bunch of links that contain animations. The animations were created first in Powerpoint then saved as a PDF file so the user would still be able to perform the animations yet keep them from being copied.
    When you click on the link to the PDF file the file opens in a web browser with the browser menu bar and I cannot see the PDF menu bar at the top like "FILE, EDIT, VIEW, DOCUMENT, COMMENTS, etc.
    How do I get the file to open and still be able to use the menu bar at the top?
    Thanks for your help.

    You can't control that, it is determined by the visitors browser configuration and whether or not they have a PDF browser plugin. In your case, it sounds like you don't have the Adobe PDF plugin for the browser you are using. You might want to try reinstalling Adobe again. This shouldn't be a problem for most visitors. What browser are you using?

  • 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 to make hyperlinks in PDF doc open in a seperate PDF window?

    I created a "Main" PDF document and have various attachments in it including PDF. I created them with Insert, Hyperlink.  That works, however, if I have the main document open in PDF, and I click on one of the hyperlinks to open a PDF document, the main document is closed and the only window remaining open is that of the hyperlink I've accessed.
    I want to change this to have the PDF hyperlink within main document  open in its on window ...can this be done?

    Thanks for the reply, but I have Adobe Reader 9 Pro. Will it still not 
    work ?

  • How get hyperlinks to PDFs to open in separate window?

    I have a very large Microsoft Word 2007 document containing lots of hyperlinks that I create a PDF from, that I must re-create from time to time due to editing changes. To save the trouble of re-entering all its hyperlinks (to other PDFs) every time I re-build the main PDF (with my resulting tendency to overlook some of them), I would like to embed them into Word ahead of time. The problem is, when I do so, the links in the resulting PDF always open in the main document, wiping out what was there.
    My main PDF contains instructions for how to install the Previous View button but the likelihood is many or most users will not notice them, with the result that when they go to one of the linked PDFs they have no way to return to the main document.
    Previously, I have been building these hyperlinks after the PDF is created, and as you know, that gives me the option to tell Acrobat that I want the linked PDF to open in its own window. Is there any way I can instruct the automatic PDF-building process from Word to do that instead of its default behavior of always opening them within the main document?
    I get the same result whether I build the PDF by loading the Word docx into Acrobat, or using the Create PDF button from within Word.
    Thanks for your help.
    Peyton
    P.S. One obvious solution would be to build links back to the main document from the smaller PDFs themselves, but that idea is completely out since it's too late for me to re-build all the smaller PDFs now. Aside from the deadline I'm working under, every one of them contains gobs of links to media files that must be re-added one by one, going through the whole set of Acrobat dialogs for choosing their parameters, which are always the same. So far all my requests to Adobe to add a default video media parameters capability have not led to this being done.

    Thanks so much for pointing me to the right place. As it turned out, the deadline I'm under to get this book ready meant I had to go ahead and insert the links to its external PDFs by hand for this version, although I plan to learn about javascript for future versions of the book, which will definitely occur.
    I used to be a web page programmer, so I'm quite familiar with javascript itself. Now what I mainly need will be to understand its object model in Acrobat, and the interface to it  from inside Acrobat.
    What I pray fervently for (but doubt I will find it there) is javascript code to set the parameters of all embedded videos, of which I have over 100, and must go through a laborious series of dialogs to set the parameters for each and every one individually! (or more likely, a function I could write that would be passed an identity code for each video clip in turn.)

  • 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?

  • How do I make it so that Firefox does NOT close my other windows when I open a Private Browsing window?

    Whenever I open a Private Browsing window, it closes all of my non-private windows until I end the private session. Is there a setting or add-on that will make it so I can have both private and non-private windows open? Both Internet Explorer and Chrome allow you to do this and it is the only reason I'm not using Firefox.

    That unfortunately is the way that Firefox works.
    You could create a new Firefox profile, but it would have it's own set of bookmarks,
    you could use a different browser for either half, but again it would not share you
    bookmarks. Firefox has the best bookmarks, but I understand your situation.
    Private browsing does not suit my usage because it turns off everything privacy related and I would not want to turn off bookmarking or lose my session data. I am the only user on my computer.

  • 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>
    <form target='none' name='myform' action='myaction.jsp' method='post' [onsubmit='return validation(this)']>
    <input type=button name='submit1' value='submit1' onclick='mysubmit("target1")'>
    <input type=button name='submit2' value='submit2' onclick='mysubmit("target2")'>
    <input type=button name='submit3' value='submit3' onclick='mysubmit("target3")'>
    <input type=button name='submit4' value='submit4' onclick='mysubmit("target4")'>
    </form>

  • Can you link text to an "Open in New Browser Window" behavior?

    Newbie here... the title asks the question. I know you can link an image in this way, but can you do it with text?

    Yeah.  The manner in which PDF files are handled depends on your end user's computer/browser settings, installed plug-ins, etc...  In some cases the PDF will launch in the browser window.  In other cases it may download to the user's hard drive or it may launch inside Acrobat (if they have it).  Too many unknown variables here...
    The best advice I can give you is to keep it simple.  Link directly to your PDF file and use target="_blank" to open it in a new window or tab.  And be nice to your site visitors, tell them it's a PDF file and approx. how big the file size is in KB.

  • RoboHelp HTML 8  - avoid opening a new browser window

    How do I avoid opening a new browser window every time I call the context sensitive help from within Java?
    I am using Robohelp HTML 8 with IE8
    I am calling it this way from Java:
    RoboHelp_CSH.RH_ShowHelp(0, "C:\\\RoboHelp\\!SSL!\\WebHelp\\XHelp_File.htm", RoboHelp_CSH.HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 2);

    Hi,
    Welcome to Adobe forum,
    As I understand you are trying to open the hyperlinks in a new window instead of a tab.
    Well it is possible in Robohelp 8 HTML
    Here are the steps which you need to follow.
    1. Select the text Right click on it and then select Insert Hyperlink.
    Once you click on the Insert Hyperlink another Popup window will appear in your screen.
    You need to check this screenshot and select the appropriate option.
    Try and generate the Webhelp and see if that helps you,
    I hope that will resolve your issue.Please reply if that resolves your issue.
    Thanks
