IWeb • How Do I Make Links in an Embedded PDF Document Open in New Page?

On this page http://ostyn-newman.com/Gov_Downloads.html I have a PDF document that is embedded.  I tried an IFrame, but everything seemed to work better for me with the "Embed" code.  I am open to changing this if it would be better.  Here's my problem.  I can get the PDF document to display fine, but when I click on the links in the PDF document, the destination page opens in the embedded window.  I want the links to open the destination in a new window.
I created the part of the document with most of the links (Pages 8.5 - 56) in Numbers and cut and pasted the table into a Pages document to create the completed document on our site.  I exported the docuemnt from Pages as a PDF file which is what you see.  There is also a link to download the file on the same page which works just fine.
I have tried to insert the target="_blank" code but have not been able to get it to open the destination pages in a new window.  I am inserting the code by using the Insert/Widget/HTML Snippet Feature in IWeb.  Here is the code I am using.

I am not a coder and have just used Google to find the code to cut and paste and have played around with it to get to the place I am.  If anybody can tweak the code I have or offer some totally new code for me to insert that will get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Please keep in mind that most of the people who visit and use this page are government employees and are almost exclusivey using Explorer. 

Thank you Jeff,
I tried your original suggestion and now my inserted html widget reads

It is live on my site.  You can see that the embedded document still opens the destination links in the embedded window.
As for your other two suggestions, thank you as well.  I am aware of those techniques and did not use them because that is not how I want the other PDF links on the page to behave.  The catalog and autocad blocks downloads in the box at the top should simply download (or behave however the client's browser is configured to handle downloaded PDF documents or zip files.)  I don't intend to force those to open a new window.  I could also have our client click on a link to the PDF document and open it in a new page (like in your second suggestion) but I was hoping to embed the PDF and have it automatically viewable on our Download • Terms • Prices Page with all of the PDF search functions intact as well as the links be active.  My only complaint at this point is that the links in the embedded PDF document open the destination page in the embed window instead of a new window.  I only want to force a new window because the destination window doesn't behave properly when it opens in my embed window and it is difficult to figure out how to go back to the my PDF document when a destination window gets opened in the embed window.  The code you sent didn't do the trick.  Or maybe I didn't get it exactly right.  That is why I included it above.  Thanks for trying though.  I appreciate the effort.
I would be willing to bypass the imbed/iFrame route altogether if I could just somehow drop the Pages document into the IWeb page and retain the search and link features, but I've not been able to figure out how to do that.  When I was exploring how to directly drop a Pages document into an IWeb page is when I stumbled on the method of embedding a PDF document into an IWeb page to retain the important search and link features.

  • How do I make content in a text field continue onto a new page?

  • How can I make some restictions in a PDF document using Acrobat 9 pro?

    Hello, I am a teacher from Spain. I am creating a PDF from a power point presentation, using Adobe Acrobat 9 pro. I will copy it in a cd and give it to my students. I would like to add these restrictions:
    I would like to avoid that they can copy this document.
    I only want to allow them to print it once.
    Thank you

    You can prevent copying of content (text and images) by setting permissions on the PDF file using Acrobat (apply password security, leaving the document open password empty).
    It is not possible to limit the number of times a PDF file is printed, no matter what settings you use. Printing can be disabled completely, or restricted to low-resolution output, but that is all. Even if it were somehow possible to restrict how many times Reader or Acrobat was allowed to print, there is no way to stop someone changing the copy number in the operating system print dialog, as that is beyond the control of any installed program. A printable PDF file can also be printed to another PDF file (called refrying), which will remove any interactive restrictions on the original.
    Note that permissions security is only respected by Adobe software. Third-party applications will often ignore the restrictions and allow all operations. The only way to truly protect the file is to apply a security method which is only found in Adobe products (such as LiveCycle policies), which will as a side-effect prevent anyone from opening the file in a third-party application that might not respect the restrictions.

  • How to I make spacing changes in a PDF document?

    I coverted my resume from a word doc to a PDF (on a Mac) and my spacing changed, how do I alter a PDF document?

    You cannot do that with Reader. In fact, even with Acrobat which can edit pdf files it is not a good idea. Think of PDFs as electronic version of a stone tablet. You can modify a letter here or there but changing spacing not such a good idea.

  • How can I make links clickable on all PDF viewers/readers?

    I have an InDesign document that's been built to be 'interactive' when printed as a PDF: along the top of each page are links that allow you to skip ahead in the document to specific pages. The links are created using boxes over the relevant text that are set up in an alternate layer of the Indesign document. The links just take the reader to a specific page of the PDF - not to an element on a page. There are minimal images - one on the cover and a logo on every page. It's mainly text.
    The links open in the PDF when viewed in Acrobat, and also on on Mac Book (it looks great!), but they don't open on iPads or other devices (and it looks like a complete dud when viewed this way). Are there some settings I can change/use to make my document 'clickable' from all readers?
    I'm very far ahead with this project and need to publish it urgently. I wasn't aware of this issue previously. Any suggestions/solutions gratefully received. Just to clarify - the links are mostly internal. I just need people to be able to jump around within the document.

    You cant transfer interactivity to a PDF when you print to PDF as you have written.
    PDFs have to be exported so that interactivity will live inside the PDF. Of course you have to set up links in the Hyperlink Panels.
    But not every reader is supporting interactivity. URL are supported from Reader and Apple iBooks. But you can't force the user to use a certain application anyway.

  • How can I make links in another application (say thunderbird) open with a specific Firefox profile

    Having several different Firefox profiles, clicking a link in another application (for instance,a link in Thunderbird,or in a email message,generally speaking) brings up the profile manager:is there a way to bypass it and force all links to open with a specific Firefox version\profile?

    A way to do that is to edit the registry and add the -p "profile" switch to those protocol links. There is however no guarantee that such a change stays after an update and Firefox may complain.<br />
    Another way is not to use the profile manager, but select the profile for the default browser once in the PM to set the profile for the default browser, so that profile is marked as Default=1 in profiles.ini. Then place a checkmark in the box to never ask and use a desktop shortcut to start each Firefox version with its own profile, so you do not have to use the PM as that would set another profile with Default=1

  • How can I click on a bookmark and have it open a new page? When I click a bookmark it always opens right in the sidebar, all my bookmarks disappear and I am left with two seperate pages?

    I keep my bookmarks open at all times in the sidebar. If I want to go to a site, say Google, I must do a right click on the bookmark and then click on "Open In A New Tab" then the google page opens in a new tab.
    I want to skip the second click. I want to be able to simply left click the google booknark in the sidebar and have google open in a new tab.
    the way things are now, when I simply do a left click on the google bookmark the new google tab opens in tne sidebar itself. My bookmarks disappear from the sidebar and the google page is opened in the sidebar. So at this point I have two active page open at the same time.
    Is there a way to simply left click the bookmark in the sidebar and have the bookmark open as a regular page?
    Please pardon my clumsiness as I have only today used FireFox for the first time.

    Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
    Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

  • How do i make links open in a new tab

    Hi There,
    Can someone please tell me how to get iWeb to set pages to open on a new tab when links are clicked.
    Like when someone is viewing my website, I want the links in that website to open in a new tab within the web-browser when someone clicks on them. I know I can make links open in a New window but how do I make them open in a new tab.
    Thanks a bunch
    Jason

    There is no HTML command to open windows in tabs.
    Only these commands are available :
    target="_blank"
    target="_top"
    target="_new"
    Opening a new page in a tab is decided by the browser preferences.
    In Safari : Preferences > Tabs

  • How do I make links work in PDFs on ipad?

    How do you make links work in PDFs on ipad?

    I downloaded your "test.pdf" file. First I tested it on a Mac in Acrobat and the links worked fine.
    Then I transferred it to my iPad and opened it in Reader 10.3. The links worked fine. When I clicked OK to the message I quoted above, they took me to the site in Safari browser.
    It could be that you need to reset your iPad. Hold down the Home button and Sleep/Wake button at the same time. Hold then thru the message about turning it off, until you see the Apple logo. Then let go.
    Relaunch Reader.

  • How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?

    How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open
    when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?
    I am using the accordion feature on all my pages as a
    navigation aid. It has three panels. When you refresh the page the
    panel goes back to the default pane... Is there a way of
    controlling this so that the browser can remember the pane that is
    open (say set a variable, cookie, other?)

    Look for "Set the default open panel" on the following page:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/accordion_overview/index.html
    Keep in mind you would need to change that bit of code on
    every page. The only way to do it more dynamically would be to
    include a custom javascript or PHP/ASP style script in order to
    change the value.

  • How to make only part of a PDF document editable?

    I'm looking to see if there is a way to make only part of a PDF document editable. My problem is, I have pieces of collateral that some of our channel partners need to be able to add their logo to and then edit the contact information on them, but we don't want them to be able to change any of the main copy on these documents. The only thing I've been able to come up with as a solution is to create outlines of the text that I don't want editable, but I need the copy to be able to be read by computer systems for disability purposes. Does anyone have any ideas on something I could do for this? Or has anyone dealt with anything like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi vward26,
    You can use Acrobat to make only part of a PDF document editable.
