Open PDF in new window to bookmark

Is it possible to open a PDF in a new window to a bookmark? I tried the code below; the PDF opens in a new window but does not open to the 3rd page. Appears that "page=3" is getting removed from the URL when opening. Any ideas?
<af:goLink text="View PDF" id="gl1"
                             targetFrame="_blank"
                             destination="SMWebLogicAgent_conf_enu.pdf#page=3"/>
JDeveloper 11.1.1.7

This offer Adobe doc http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf States that you can use '&'  instead of the '#'.

  • Opening PDF in new window

    Hi all
    We want to generate a pdf at runtime in new window on click of a button suppose 'Show PDF'. We have written following code using MVC module.
    In HANDLE_EVENT for the button we are calling a controller method say 'Preview_PDF' which is generating a pdf and it opens in a new window too.
    But at the same time we are getting blank screen or view from where the event is triggered. I want the parent view should remain undisturbed and pdf should open in new window. Please advice where am I going wrong.
    Code written is as follows
    this is a controller method
    method PREVIEW_OFFER_LETTER.

    Capture the generated url for the PDF document into a variable w_url and then use the client click event of the button SHOW PDF to open it in a separate window.
    something like this
    <htmlb:button id="btn1" onClientClick="window.open(w_url)"
    this should open your pdf in a new window.
    hope this helps.
    Cheers

  • JavaScript needed - open PDF in new window

    I'm creating an interactive PDF in InDesign CS5.
    This PDF contains a button I've made that links to another, separate, PDF file.
    This is all working fine - trouble is, when I click the button to open the second PDF file, the first PDF automatically closes.
    Is there any way to make the second PDF open in a new window, keeping the first PDF open?
    I've been told I need to add a JavaScript in Acrobat.
    Your help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks - we're definately heading in the right direction now!
    I'm not sure how to select "Open in: New Window" as specified.
    In the button properties, there doesn't seem to be this sort of option (see image below).
    Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?
    Also, I believe the link action is a "Open a file" type.

  • ADF 11G: opening PDF into new Window using Jasper Report

    Hello, I am using JDev 11.1.1.5.0
    I have a page into a bound Task FLow containing a table and a "print "button".
    I am using Jasper Report to create a PDF document.
    I want this document to be opened into a new Window when the user click on the button.
    I've been reading several threads/blogs to do this but it is not working.
    please help me out with the sample or some link where I can refer.
    Thanks

    Hi All,
    Today I checked and got the Reason why Server is getting shut down while closing the Report window.... this is just because of JasperViewer.
    so while opening the JasperViewer to show the Report we need to pass the second parameter as False.
    JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint,false);k thanks for your update....
    but still my actual problem exist....
    I don't want to use JasperViewer to view the Report.
    Like when I'm clicking on Button PDF Report is opening in the same Winodw.
                    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
                                       "inline; filename=\"ReportFile.pdf\"");it will open as attachment if I'll use the below code and my ShowReport Button is getting disabled....
                    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
                                       "attachement; filename=\"ReportFile.pdf\"");As in Page ShowReport Button is getting disabled so after exporting the Report I want to redirect to the page but getting Error like Illegal State Exception: Response Already Commiteed

  • Open PDF 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?  Thank you for your help.

    Check the Acrobat forum. Someone there might be able to help out.

  • 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

  • When I open a new link or bookmark I want it to open in a new window not a slew of tabs so I can see which sites I have open.

    I'm sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology. When I open a new window or a link I want it to open a whole new window so I have 500 open FireFox tabs in my taskbar if I open that many windows. I do not like having everything open in one window. Used to be I could find how to undo that but you changed everything on me and now only rocket scientists can use your application. If Chrome and Internet Explorer weren't so ridiculous, I would change. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    This didn't help me at all. I want a separate window to open each time I open a new tab or bookmark. Currently when I open a new link it just adds a tab to the window already open so from my non-technie point of view, I only have one window open and have to go up top to see what is open vs. being able to look below in my taskbar and see what I have open.

  • Target for a .pdf  with the link target _blank does not open in a new window.

    I have a simple html document with links to .pdf documents all set to _blank but only one opens in a new window.  The others open as _self.  Changing the target doesn't seem to make a difference.
    Any idea as to why that is happening?

    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...
    SSI for Apache: http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/ssi.shtml
    PHP's version: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/include.php
    It's especially handy if your site gets to the point where you have more than about 20 pages.

  • Creating a link in a PDF form to open into a new window

    I have created the PDF form and every thing seems to be working fine. But I would like to set a link in the form that would open into a separate page. I have tried target="_blank" and onclick="window.open(this.href, 'child', 'scrollbars,width=650,height=600'); return false" with no success. Can someone give me some direction on how to create a link within a PDF form that will open into a new window?

  • When I click on any Bookmark, how do I set it to open in a new window by default?

    Right clicking an icon in the Bookmarks Toolbar provides a drop down menu. That menu has "Open" as the Default and "Open in a New Window" as the second choice. I'd like to make "Open in a New Window" the Default. In other words, I'd like to be able to click on a Bookmark icon and open a new window. Is there a line in 'about:config' that I can change to accomplish this?

    Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.

  • Open link (PDF) in new window from WebHelp custom skin button

    This question relates to my work with FM>RH integration. But the task I'm trying to accomplish is something specifically done in RH with customization of WebHelp skins, so I'm posting in this forum. I'm running RH9 on Windows XP Pro.
    We have recently replaced WebWorks with RH and finally have the mapping files set up to generate Help from our FM source files. Celebration was short, because then we realized that our users wanted a PDF option. We haven't done any mapping to create PDFs from RH, and that seems kind of silly anyway, since we have superior PDF generation from the FM files.
    So I set about making a custom button in the header of a WebHelp skin that will link to a PDF. I accomplshed that work, but its behavior falls short of the functionality I'd like to see. Currently, you click on the button and it opens the PDF in the browser window of the Help system. I want it to open in a new window, so I can keep the experience clean for the users, separating Help and PDF. I don't know if this is possible.
    Here is where I am at. To create button I navigated to:
    Project Set-up/Skins/NEW SKIN/WebHelp Skin Editor/ Main/NEW BUTTON
    When I choose the edit icon to customize the new button, there is an option to choose Link or JavaScript. I got the PDF to open inside the Help browser by just using the Link option and specifying the PDF. I have tried to use the JavaScript option without success. My JS may be wrong, but when I choose inline JS option and place anything there, it turns all the navigation buttons to gobbledy ****. Specifying an external JS file doesn't work at all.
    Any direction or help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Douglas

    I see one other shortcoming with this solution now that I've implemented it. Our Help follows the applictions through a convoluted path of development servers, amongst other strangeness with the way we deploy Help and PDF documentation. My concern is referencing a single URL/file on a server. Since we're moving things around, that doesn't really work well, we want the PDF to be with the Help system, if possible. Is there a way to reference the PDF as a relative link in the baggage files, so it will pull it from whatever server the Help system resides on without having to make changes?
    UPDATE:
    It seems if you place the PDF in the WebHelp folder and reference it as the JavaScript, the Help system automatically reats it as root folder and find it there. So, I think this is the solution to my question? However, this is a bit annoying, as it means you have to remember to manually place the file in the compiled Help system. I had earlier experimented with placing the PDF as a baggage file, but those don't seem to carry over when you compile Help. Is there any way to put the PDF in the Baggage Files and designate that it be included in compiled Help?

  • How To Make Links In A .PDF Open In A New Window

    Hello,
    I am using Acrobat Pro 10 to create a fillable employment application. At the top of the main application, I want people to be able to click and be redirected to another .PDF file I have hosted on my site that they will need to fill out in addition. So, I have used the link tool, but this closes the main pdf application and opens up the new pdf in its place. This is very problematic, because it clears out all of their data in the previous main application. So, I need the link to open in a new window and not in the same one as the original form. Is this possible?
    I have tried using the Java work around explained in this article: http://mythinkpond.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/opening-a-link-in-a-pdf-document-in-a-new-wind ow/
    However, when I do this, and upload it to my site the link doesn't do anything. When you click above the word where the link should be, it doesn't show the finger pointer and doesn't do anything when clicked.
    Any ideas? I greatly appreciate any help...

    That makes sense. So I guess it looks like I have 2 options.
    1. Put the JS short code in and have it open the link in a new window if the user opens it in adobe. If a google chrome user opens it in the default viewer, they wont be able to use the link at all.
    2. Leave the link how it is, and it will be usable in both viewers, but will not open it in a new window.
    I am sureprised that opening the link in a new window isn't just an option in Acrobat Pro. I wouldn't think you'd have to make a workaround like this.
    Is there an alternative way to have a page link on the form so that people can go to another .pdf whil keeping the main one open?

  • PDF-in web browser - open link in new window

    I've done a lot of searching for JavaScript code to solve this: if a PDF is being viewed in a web browser, and the user clicks a link in that PDF, the default is to have the linked page replace the original. I would like it to open a new window in the browser. E.g., if there is a link in the PDF to abc.com, then when the user clicks that link, the original PDF stays open and a new window opens to abc.com. Any help?

    In the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference look up the app.launchURL() method. The second parameter is a boolean value that describes whether or not you want the URL to open in a new window.
