Open Hyperlink in New Window

I have created an interactive pdf in Indesign. It contains hyperlinks to destinations in a second pdf file. I would like the hyperlinks to open the second pdf file in a new window. Is there a way to do this either in Indesign or Adobe Professional?
I see that it is possible in Acrobat if the docements were just to files but I am using them on a web server.
Thank you for your help.

Hi George -
Thanks for your reply. I would be happy if it would open in either a new browser window or a new Acrobat/Reader window. The first file is a large file and the links are to a suppporting much smaller file. I would like the first file to stay open so that it doesn't have to keep reloading and so that the user doesn't have to use the "back" button. (My guess is that that the user is going to close the window after clicking the link, expecting that it would open in a new window, and get very frustrated reopening the first file)
What type of links have you set up, exactly (web link, open file, go to page in another PDF, etc.)?
I created the links while the file was still in InDesign - they are hyperlinks to a URL - and the URL is a destination in another pdf file.
The final product - both documents - will be posted on a web server.
Before posting the files to the web I was successful in setting up the links to open in a new window (go to a destination in another file). But once placed on the server this no longer works.
Thank you again,
Denise

Open hyperlinks in new window/tab/pop-up ?

Now that my hyperlinks are working again....
I have a section with "directions" to lots of locations, each location has a google map link and a link to a pdf , when the user clicks on a link for a PDF or google map etc, it comes up fine but when you hit the "back" button to return to the site you have to go back in the front door again and nav back to where you were. How do I setup these links to open in a new browser window or a pop-up so the user doesn't lose their place on the site? This is a actionscript 2 / flash9 project.
Thanks
Joel

I guess I forgot to mention the these links are HTML <a href = > tags in dynamic text boxes. I'm not using the getURL function. That said, I tried it in the tag and it seems to work fine. Did the trick.
Thanks

(Site Actions -> Site settings -> Site columns -> Create )
Add this Site column in your new list
(List Settings -> Add from existing site columns)

Hyperlink on a trigger won't open in a new window

I have set up a roll over trigger that reveals a target and it works great. The only issue is that the hyperlink I have assigned to the trigger will only work if I uncheck the "open in a new window or tab" box. If I check that box, nothing happens when I click the trigger, yet it's original function of revealing the target still works.

here is one picture of the composition settings, I also took 6 other photos with a trigger/target/textbox/picture broken apart so you could see the layers, I've included all in this dropbox link:

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

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….

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).

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.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide

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?

IWeb - cant adjust hyperlinks to open page in new window

Anyone know of a work around to this obvious shortcoming? ...other then hacking the html code? the website is: www.apexjiujitsu.com
My Links page is the one that I'd like to set parent=_ or whatever the value is for new window instead of same window

Hi all.
New to iWeb as well and am enjoying creating my website.
Having played with HTML in the past and dreamweaver for creating pages, remembered there is a way to do this in a non-iweb way.
The extra code that needs to be added at the end of your link is:
target="_blank"
Now how to get that in your iWeb page.
What I did (worked for me each time) - copy the page you want to edit from your iDisk in the Finder window to a folder on your mac. Make sure to make a copy of this file in case you want to go back to the original.
- Next open the page in Netscape (using ver 7.2). Pics did not show as I did not copy those.
- In Netscape click File, Open File. Just navigate to your page location and click Open.
One really neat feature I like about Netscape is that it comes with a built in web page editing tool.
- Click File, Edit Page. Editing window appears.
- Find the link you want to change and double-click it. It may try to open the link in new window, if it doesn't, don't worry about it. Or give you an error - close the error window.
- Go back to the editing window and double-click on the link again. You should see a drop-down menu appear.
- Click Advanced edit. There are two columns here - Attribute and Value.
Attribute is what you want - ie open in a new window (target) and the Value is what happens next ie. opens the link in a new window.
- Click on the Attribute drop-down at the bottom and choose "target".
- Click on the Value drop-down and choose "_blank" (usually defaults to this).
- Click OK and then OK again.
Close the file and make sure to save.
All I did then was copy the edited page to the iDisk folder wence it came from and overwrote the original (did you save a copy of the original in a safe location?).
Opened the page in Safari or any other browser and voila' - link now opens in a new window/tab.
Sorry for the long winded reply explanation. Wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything. ***Just be sure to save a copy of the original page your working on in a safe place in case you need to revert to the original.***
Hope this helps.
ps. Agree, adding an option to open links in new window should be put into the enhancements to come for iWeb.

How can I make a specific page open in a new window when clicked from a menu?

Don't know if its possible but I have one specific page I want to open in a new window in the browswer when clicked on from a widget menu. I know how to go in and put the coding in but it would be nice if there is some option in Muse to do that already. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

ryanj4799 You'll need to change the Menu Type to Manual in the widget's options and add the links yourself. Then go to the Hyperlinks panel. Check the option to open in a new tab/window.

Open hyperlink in new page problem

I have clicked the 'Open Page In New Window' box in iWeb for every external hpyerlink I'm using, but, when I go to my web site it doesn't do that. It opens the hyperlink on top of my web site, instead of opening a new tab. And iWeb Help didn't give me the answer. Help!! Any good ideas out there. If so, please e-mail me at [email protected], because I hardly ever come to these forums. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

One good idea:
provide your link if possible. That would make it easier to answer your question/solve your problem.
Cyclo likes to look at the html source codes of pages to see where it's going wrong (thanks Cyclo!)

Open Page in new window using hyper link

I put the window.open method on OnClick event of outputlink to open a page in new window, but the page is started in a old window.
How do I start the page in a new window.
My sintaxe of outputlink:
<h:outputLink binding="#{P0110.hyperlink1}" id="hyperlink1"
onclick="WindowObjectReference = window.open('about:blank', '','menubar=yes,location=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes');" value="http://www.sun.com/jscreator">
</h:outputLink>

Hi,
Following are the steps to open a new window using the window.open method for the hyperlink component:
1. Drag and drop a hyperlink component onto the page
2. In the properties sheet go to the Value property and delete the value present there
3. Click on the ... button next to the onclick property
4. Enter the line of code given below:
window.open("http://www.yahoo.com","New window");
5. Save and run the project
On clicking on the hyperlink a new window will open with the www.yahoo.com page.
Hope this helps

Open link in new window? Anyone figured it out yet?

I have tried looking over some past topics concerning this issue, but only found a few and it appears that it wasn't figure out on how to open a link in a new window. I started creating a web portfolio for me, and I have some videos I wish to open in a new window instead of just having them on one of the pages. I've tried viewing the page source in firefox, copied the code, and inserted the target="_blank" code after the hyperlink, but after I do that it messes up the code somehow and when i try to open the html page in firefox all I see is the code. Has anyone else figured this out?

Well, I found a website that showed me how to do it... If anyone else needs it then here it is: http://www.rowan-cottage.co.uk/Site/Target_Blank.html#Summary

Open Link in New Window not working

Using iWeb 08, I create a new entry on my blog/news page, highlight the text, go to the link tab, paste in a website, make sure 'Link to an External Page' is selected, and put a tick in 'Open Link in New Window'.
When published it opens in the same window. Is this a bug or how can I correct it?

Try redoing your link and, this time, deselect the link on the page and look at the inspector window to see if anything has changed. Then check the 'make hyperlinks active box". Your linked page should open in the browser when you click the link on the iWeb page.
If this is OK do a "publish all to .Mac" and empty your browser cache before visiting your site.
