set your browser to open new windows in a new window.. the
code i provided is the correct code to open in a new window, as
well as using _blank.. both do the same. but in the world of new
browsers with tabs, it totally depends on the users' browser
settings.
also, your blank needs to have quotes around it, as it is a
string.

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 can I get embedded advertising links to open in a new window?

I am working with Muse and have tried editing the HTML but it didn't work.
Thanks, Sandy

If you are inserting links as text and then through Hyperlink adding external link , then you can setup the link to open in a new window.
http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/using/creating-hyperlinks.html#id_29862
In case the link is included in any html frame , you can declare target="_blank" which would open the links with a new window.
Thanks,

When I clicked on a link, it opens into a new window. I would prefer that it opens as a new tab. Does anybody know how to change this? Thanks

Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to divert all JavaScript window.open() calls to a new tab.

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

How do I set up an html link to open in a new window outside of the PDF?

I've done a lot of searching and cannot find an answer to this dilemma. I create press releases for my employer's website in InDesign, then export as PDFs. They appear as icons on the "news" page of our site, which the user clicks to open and read. Each PR has links to various pages on our site, but I want those links to open in a new browser window so that the user can still read the PR. I understand this option is not available in InDesign PDF export, but can I modify the link in Acrobat X, then resave? If so, how?
Thanks for your help.

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.)

What configuration is needed in tab utilities for firefox 5 lite to get google search links to open in a new window?

I have installed tab utilities lite, when I select some links (i.e. the ask questions button in this site) I get new tabs, but when I open the google search results links, the link opens in the existing tab.
What config is required to get the google links to open in a new tab?

This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

External links suddenly open in a new window instead of a tab

I am using Nightly (20.0a1) on WIndows 8, I use the program Teamspeak 3 and it used to be that whenever I clicked on a link it would just open in a new tab in the Nightly window that was open, but now it opens a completely new Nightly window. I have the box ticked in settings, I've gone through all of the about:config things I've seen online and nothing works, I really have no idea what to do. I just did something with envoirenmental variables which didn't help (meant that it opened a whole new instance of Nightly whenever I clicked on an external link) so I deleted the variable. Anyone got any suggestions? If it is relevant, before this problem started I dragged a tab from one window of Nightly to another (think it might've been the cause of this), and yes, I've tried dragging tabs around from window to window to fix this and it didn't work.

Thanks, but I already had it set to that, I've heard of many people with this problem and tried literally all fo the about:config fixes that I could find but none worked, I think it is some sort of assosiation problem with hyperlinked text with windows but I really don't know. Anyone who can help me please do, this is getting annoying. Keep in mind that I have Windows 8 when making suggestions also.

When I click on a link, it opens in a new window but the window is BLANK and I can't type anything. I have firefox 3.5.2

when I click on a link to open something in a new window, it opens a new window but it's blank!!! it's driving me nuts and I did update Firefox, but since I thought that was the problem I decided to install an older version of Firefox instead. please help!!!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
There are other things that need attention.

I have just noticed that the new edit tools don't allow for setting up links to open in a new window. This is a very basic tool. Can it be incorporated ASAP.

previous editor made i t very easy for clients to create links in text that opened in new windows rather than existing window. I consider this a basic tool. Can it be re-incorporated ASAP.

Air and spry (adding observer and addEventListener to spry regions links to open for a new window)

I'm trying to add a region.addobserver and addEventListener to spry regions so the links; that come for a external feed, opens in a new(default browser) window when clicked. The on* events in regions do not work in AIR so, is there a way to do this?
I have read a lot of the documentation on spry regions, addObserver and the addEventlistener but the samples don't deal with anything about external xml feeds with links in a spry region for a AIR app.
The closiest i saw was the gallery http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/air/photo_gallery.html, but it doesn't deal with:
links,
in a external RSS feed,
in the spry region,
to a new default browser.
Has anybody tried this before? Can it be done?
Ex:
          <div spry:region="rssDataNews" class="SpryHiddenRegion">
          <div spry:state="loading" id="notification2">Loading feeds, please wait ...<img src="assets/spinner.gif"></div>
          <div spry:state="error">Failed to load data! Please try again later</div>
            <table width="100%" spry:state="ready">
              <tr spry:repeat="rssDataNews" class="{ds_EvenOddRow}" spry:select="mySelectClass">
                <td class="cellPad">
                <span style="font-weight:bold">{title}</span><br /><br />
                {description}<br />
                 <a href="{link}" target="_blank">[Read full article]</a><br /><br />
                </td>
              </tr>
            </table>
      <div>
The <a href > only opens the url in the native AIR window. I need it to open in a web browser.

About on* events
They do work, but not as attribute on your HTML elements, you will need to use eventlisteners to attach them on the relevant nodes.

About links
Currently in Adobe AIR, its not (easily) possible to open or execute other programs on the users PC. I have seen die hard hacker user Java to get around this limitation. But i suggest you check out the Adobe AIR forum to confirm that you cant open links in the users browser.
But, Adobe AIR is basically a browser

Unable to right click a link and open in a New Window

Hello,
I've been having problems with FF when I right click a link on any site, and I want to "Open Link in New Window", but it never happens. Then I tried to right click the same link and I "Open Link in New Tab", which works. What happened? Did the programmers/developers change something? I even tried it in "Safe Mode" with the same problem. Can anyone suggest anything? I almost tried everything imaginable, even running Windows 7 Ult SP1 in Safe Mode as well, with no help.
Thank You.
David

Note that such issues are likely caused by one of the extensions that isn't working properly.
So if it happens again then start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
*If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
*Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

I want Links to open in a New Window, NOT a New Tab (FireFox 31.0)

Internet Explorer has an "Options" setting to open new tabs in a new window instead.
Where can I find it in FireFox - looks like there is none ???
Older versions had it, I believe.

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.
That option allows to divert such links to a new tab instead of a new window.
Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab unless you override that with a middle-click or Ctrl left-click (new tab) or Shift left-click (new window) or via the right-click context menu.
JavaScript running on the page or an installed extension can also change (override) the default behavior.
This applies to bookmarks and other links as well, i.e. you can middle-click the View Image item in the right-click context menu of an image or middle-click the Reload button on the location bar to get a new tab with that link.
Left-click a JavaScript link (e.g. you see "#" on hover) to avoid getting a blank tab.
