Links in PDF files will be opened in a new browser window?

Hi all,
I'm opening PDF files in a browser. I'd really like links in PDF files will be opened in a new window as html. My browsers was configured to allow opening new pages in a new window (FireFox: Tools\Options\Tabs\ New pages should be opened in: New window ;IE 7: Tools\Internet Options\Tabs Settings\Open links from another programs in: A new window)
Please tell me any additional step I have to done
Thanks much
Luong To

Thank you Bob! We will try out tests again today.

Link in PDF doc need to open in a new browser window

I am using Adobe Pro 7.0, and in the PDF that someone opens, I want links, but when a user clicks on the link, I dont want them to click and have the link open in the same window, and replace the PDF they are viewing.
Please advise on how to open a link in the previous window, or a new window (sizeable) if possible.
Tried both of these and they dont work
javascript:void(window.open('http://www.link.com'))
javascript: poponload('http://www.link.com')
Thank you

Sorry, since you posted in the Acrobat Scripting Forum I assumed you knew about Acrobat Scripting and were looking for a scripting solution.
When you create your link with the Link Tool, under Link Action choose "Custom link". Click "Next", go to the Actions tab and add a "Run a JavaScript" action. In the new box that pops up, put in the JavaScript I gave you.

I wanted a solution to the problem I was having on Win 7 Pro Service Pack 1 in that links on an open Adobe Acrobat file will not open in my Firefox Browser 33.0.2. The Error I receive is "Acrobat could not run the web browser. Unknown Error. (123)"

Change browsers. See what happens.
Be well...

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window

PDF files will not open in a Safari (v 6.0.5) browser window, OS 10.8.5. Version 11.0.04 Adobe Reader and Plug-ins installed. Both local and internet files do not load. What is happening here?

Ok. I reloaded v 11.0.04 of Adobe Reader after quiting Safari 6.0.5 . Then deleted the 2 plug-ins AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin . Relaunched Safari and tried to read a pdf from a repository at the URL mentioned in post 10 . The file was loaded and displayed correctly. Also a pdf file from my local disk store displayed nicely as well. What I do not understand is that there is no listing of an Adobe plug in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins , nor does Safari list any Adobe plug ins. So in that case this means that plug-ins for the display of pdfs in Safari windows are no longer needed!
Adobe Reader version 11.0.04 is now working for me.
Thanks for the help and the solution C.F.McBlob

Embedded pdf files will not open

Dell Laptop Windows XP up to date, Firefox 4.0, Adobe Reader 10.0.1
Since updating to Firefox 4.0 certain embedded pdf files will not open forcing me to use my Internet Explorer browser to access these files. Tried all of the FAQ suggestions with no relief.
NOTE: I can open previously opened files (Firefox 3.___) but not a new one.

Thank you for the response. I insereted several .pdf files into my MS Word document where they show as Acobat icons. When in MS Word, I am able to double-click on the icons and the files open in Acrobat. I then converted the MS Word document to a .pdf. These icons now only show as pictures and do not open the original inserted .pdf documents.

Pdf files will not open upon downloading

I download a lot of pdf docs for work and want them to open automatically upon download so I can screen them. Since upgrading to Safari 5.1, when I download files (which has gotten much more cumbersome) they do not automatically open upon download. Yes, I DO have the "open safe files after downloading" option checked in Preferences. Any other thoughts? A solution would be most helpful. (If anyone has a solution to how I can automatically download files as easily as in prior versions, that would be greatly appreciated also.)

Doesn't make much sense to me. Methinks details are needed.

.PDF files will not open without saving first

Since downloading Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on 5/20/14 .pdf files will not open without saving them first. I want .pdf files to open first BEFORE I save them (using Windows 7 and Firefox 30.0)

Pdf files will not open

Hi,
I have viewed through this forum and did not find a problem with similar symptoms.
I upgraded from Adobe Reader 8 to Reader 9 and then the .pdf files will not open.
Actions and Observations/Symptoms:
1) After I clicked onto the pdf document icon - nothing happens.
2) I right click onto the pdf icon and chose "open with Adobe 9" and get the same response. Nothing happens.
3) I go to the the start menu - select Adobe Reader 9 - and the program does not even open.
=======
I have since removed Reader 9 and re-installed Reader 8. I tried the above actions and got the same behaviour. Not a whole lot happens. It seems like something is broken after the first initial upgrade.
In fact - I went to the folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader and
tried to open Reader by double clicking onto "AcroRd32.exe" and there was no response.
I'm completely lost! Can anyone share a fix to my problem?
Thanks,
Mike
Some hardware & OS background info: Toshiba Laptop - 1.58 Ghz, 3GB RAM - M/S Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3

I can't explain the cause to the problem - but I found two "work-arounds" to get me running again.
Workaround #1:
I found another program (and there are many) on the web that will also read .pdf files. I downloaded "Foxit Reader" , installed it and it works. I can now view my pdf docs!
However - I got so used to Adobe Reader - I really wanted to get Reader working again.
Workaround #2:
I re-installed Adobe Reader 8.
Instead of running the usual Adobe installation script that I got from the web, I copied (from another PC's C-drive) the "Reader 8.0" folder and all its contents into my current C- drive directory structure C:\Program Files\Adobe\.
I re-booted the PC and can now open my pdf files using Reader 8.
It seems to work - but I don't know what the effects of this installation method will have in the future - or the interaction it will have with other programs. I guess when I need to remove the program in the future - I'll have to do it manually, since it doesn't even register in the "Add or Remove Programs" under Control Panel.
===============
Hope this helps out anyone else with similar symptoms.
In the original problem, it's unfortunate that there were no error messages whatsoever when I tried opening the pdf files. It was like as if Reader was not even activated or even loaded on my PC. I'll bug me for a while - but at least I got Reader working again (for now....)!

Did you try using a different browser?

Can I have links open in a new browser window?

Is it possible to have links to pages outside of my website to open in a new browser window?
I've created a podcast for my students to listen to.
I've also created a kind of fill-in-the-blank activity to go along with that podcast, but that activity requires a different window.
I want my students to listen to the podcast and do the fill-in at the same time.
So, I'd like for the students to open the link to the fill-in and then click on the podcast on the original page.
Advice?

changing podcast links is a bit difficult - but here is a general link of how to open windows in a new window:

Link to open up in new browser window

Hi everyone,
I need a link to open up in a new browser window but don't want to use the target attribute as it's deprecated. Can someone tell me if Dreamweaver has any built-in javascript behaviours that will do this for me?
Appreciate any help.

Yes, it's called Open Browser Window: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7b0 7a.html.
A more sophisticated version is my SmartLink extension, which is available free from http://foundationphp.com/tools/.

"Go to URL" not opening in a new browser window

We are using FrameMaker 10 and RoboHelp 9 in a Windows 7 environment.
When we create hypertext links, we use the "Go to URL" command. According to the FrameMaker 10 online help, this is what the command is supposed to do: "Launches browser and displays the specified Web page."
Then we publish the content to RoboHelp's WebHelp.
When we see the hypertext link in the WebHelp/HTML output, it looks like this: http://www.adobe.com
When we click it, the Web page appears inside the content frame of the WebHelp. It does not open a new browser window.
We can manually go into the html file and look at the hypertext link. It looks like this in the WebHelp output:
<span class="FM_Link"><a href="http://www.adobe.com">www.adobe.com</span>
In order to manually change the link so that it opens the Web page in a new browser window, we can edit the link as follows:
<span class="FM_Link"><a href="http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank">www.adobe.com</span>
After we manually edit the HTML file, save it, launch the WebHelp, and click the hypertext link...it now opens the Web page in a new browser window.
Is there a way to create the hypertext link in FrameMaker so that the WebHelp output will open the Web page in a new browser window?
Thank you in advance!
Tim

Please see the previous posts in this thread to review how you create hyperlinks in FrameMaker that open the Web page in a new browser window.
The problem is this: If you publish the exact same file to PDF, the hyperlinks will not work.
The properties (syntax) of the hyperlinks in PDF output need to look like this: http://www.adobe.com
The hyperlink syntax in WebHelp (in FrameMaker) needs to look like this: http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank
(...so when they are published to Webhelp, they look like this: "http://www.adobe.com" target="_blank")
Other than going into either the HTML or the PDF output and manually changing each hyperlink URL syntax for the specific output, is there a syntax that opens a new browser window in both PDF and HTML with one single "Go to URL" command?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Tim
