In InDesign CS6, can we now make the hyperlinks open in a new window?

With InDesign CS5, we could link outside the document using a PDF exported file, but when customers clicked on the hperlink, it opened a window on top of the pdf file which meant that the customers had to hit their back button and scroll down the pdf file to find the page they were on again.
Do you know if the InDesign CS6 has added an option that allows the hyperlinks to open in a "blank" window?
Thanks for your help!
Brigitte

There is no such option in InDesign CS6. It has to be accomplished in Acrobat by use of a JavaScript, as I recall. You should ask in the Acrobat forums for more informations.

    how can i make my hyperlinks open in a new window or tab?

    The program is InDesign… we need to cease links which will open the linked document in a separate window.  Also, the links must be maintained once a pdf is made and the files moved to another computer….

    Hello,
    When people click my Hyperlinks they leave my website. Is there a way for the hyperlinks to open in a new window so that my website always stays open on the desktop?
    I hope that is clear?

    I don't recall the previous versions to 08, but in 08 in the inspector when you enable a hyperlink to an external page there is an option to have the link open in a new window.

  • Is there a way to make links automatically open in a new window / new tab when viewing the PDF online

    Hi there,
    Currently we are adjusting our PDF files at our company, in order to make them more "user-friendly".
    We are looking for a way, when our customers view the PDFs online, that the URL that is in the PDF, when clicked on, will automatically open in a new window, instead of opening the URL in the same window as the PDF is opened..
    Could some-one please help me this?
    regards,

    It worked for me. See the source of my example at (PDF link to open in new window). (Sorry, that is the default title of the test page.)

  • Can a hyperlink open in a new window in the latest Pages

    I am creating hyperlinks in a Pages doc, and exporting as a pdf to sell as an ebook. I have yet to see a way of when creating a link to a web page setting it to open in a new window if they have the pdf opened in a browser. Any thoughts?

    Unfortunately, no Pages version has a link inspector/editor that enables the use of HTML attributes, in this case, target="_blank";  that would open the link in a new page (or tab).

  • 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.

  • How do I make all links open in a new window?

    I have some RSS feeds on my website.  If you click one of their headlines it takes you to that source to read the story.  Is there a way to make all hyper links on a webpage open in a new window?  If not, is there a way to make the individual links open in a new window?  The website is http://www.businessfixer.net/articles

    Mark,
    Target: e.g. <a href=”#” target=”_blank”> is deprecated (outdated) code.  Strict doc types will not pass validation.
    OP,
    Most people know how to use their browsers BACK button to return to a site.  Or better yet, right click on links to open them inside new tabs or windows.  This should almost always be a user's decision and not a web designer's decision.
    If you have all links open in new windows/tabs, In no time at all, user's browser will be stuffed with them which is ugly and can diminish browser performance.
    If you need to open a new window on SELECT links, use the Behaviors Panel, press the Plus sign (+) and select Open Browser Window.  Repeat this for all links you want opened in new windows.

  • Clicking on the Now Playing does not open in a new window

    When you click on the artwork in the Now Playing fieild in the lower left corner, a window should pop up that displays the artwork.  Mousing over it shows the controls.  When I click on it, it shows a new window is open on my taskbar, but it doesn't display on my desktop.  Does anyone have a solution to my problem.  I have iTunes 10.6.1.7

    The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
    It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

  • I made an IMovie project and I can't now make a DVD of it.  A window says there are problems and that they are shown in the User Parameter List.  I am at a loss.  Don't know what to do.  HELP

    I have made an IMovie consisting of slides and some video.  I cannot create a DVD with it.  A window tells me there is a problem and that the problem is listed in the User parameters.....I am at a loss.  There are hours of work in the Movie.  Anyone have a thought?  HELP

    problem and that the problem is listed in the User parameters
    Can it be

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

  • Editing swfobject.js code so hyperlinks inside the flash widget open in a new window

    0down votefavorite
    I have a flash calendar widget (code shown directly below) and I do not have access to anything other than the compiled .swf file (no access to .fla).
    The widget contains some hyperlinks to other websites, these links are dynamic and changes based on a number of things.
    There is also a corresponding swfobject.js file that is used to add functionality to the flash widget. The swfobject.js code is shown further down this post.
    Currently, the way the code is now, when I click any of the hyperlinks that are available to me in the widget, the destination website that hyperlink takes me to opens in THE SAME PAGE as the flash widget which is a big problem.
    I need to edit the code below so that any hyperlinks that are clicked inside of the flash widget open in a brand new browser window and do not take the user away from the original widget other than opening a new page with new content.
    Because the hyperlinks that are available are always changing, the swfobject code below uses some functions and parameters.
    I am hoping you can show me exactly what code I must insert, and exactly where I must insert it, in order to alter the behavior that happens so that when a user clicks one of the hyperlinks inside the flash widget, so that the content at the other end of the hyperlink opens in a new window, instead of opening in the same window.
    See code below.

    In that case, I will have no choice but to decompile the .swf to get the .fla because the original .fla is un-obtainable. Unless there is a way to edit the contents of the .swf file without decompiling it.
    I can see the code inside via various decompile tools and it seems that I would need to add the equivalent of <src target=_blank> to some of the lines I have shown below.
    obj_xml.load(appurl + "loadconfig.aspx?calendarid=" + calendarid);  -- need to edit this so it opens in a new window using something similar to target = _blank
    dest_page = appurl + "default.aspx"; -- need to edit this so it opens in a new window using something similar to target = _blank
    I know a lot of decompile tools can get you the code and the .fla but once you edit and re-compile and attempt to replace the original with the new & updated file, the decompiler did not necessarily generate the properly formatted flash pro project file, so compiling it back into an operational .swf often ends in failure.
    Do you know or can you recommend a tool that has a very good track record of re-compiling the decompiled modified.fla into a workable and usable .swf?

    Fred,
    Thanks so much for the reply. Amy way you could elaborate on the "known issue" aspect? Is there another thread I missed? Some sort of Knowledge base article? also, I'm not sure why you linked to the page you did. FF is installed on all my machines and I can of course download the latest version every couple of weeks and push it to all my lab iMacs using ARD, so I'm confused as to why you linnked me to FF's installer page - is there something I can do with the installer that will alow auto-updates that I'm missing/not aware of?
    Again, thanks for the heads-up and any further elaboration on either further info on the issue or how I might use the installer to auto-update all my machines will be appreciated.

    It's not obsolete as much as the first gen simply lacks the power to run the newer operating systems. IT doesn't have enough RAM. If someone managed to hack it to get iOS 6 or 7 on there they'd just have a slow, boggy and unresponsive device. (think putting windows 7 on an old laptop.
    Unfortunately software moves faster than hardware. Every thing goes obsolete. I've had my ipad 2 for two and a half years now and I know it only has so much longer left to it too. Just the 'joys' of advancing technology.
