Opening linked documents in separate browser tabs

How can I configure Adobe Reader to open a secondary PDF in a new tab from a primary PDF instead of the secondary replacing the primary in the same tab/window?
If I use Foxit Reader with the same PDFs and the same IE the links from the primary PDF open in new tabs in IE.
If I use Adobe Reader the links from the primary PDF open in the same tab and replace the primary.
I'm using IE 8 and Adobe Reader 8.

Hi,
PCs with Internet Explorer are effectively opening Word within the browser using a Windows-only technology called OLE.
There is a Word plugin but it's not a full featured Word document viewer.
There are a couple of things that can be done to make life easier though. The simplest thing is that you can double click the icon in the Safari downloads window to launch the file, so there's no need to hunt down the file on your Desktop.
Another more technical thing that can be done is to attach a Folder Action to your Desktop to instruct the Finder to automatically launch Word files as they are created there. I use the same idea to launch certain files from a work website.

Open a document in a new tab or browser window Sharepoint 2013

Customer requirement states that a doc must be opened in the browser, but requires that it open in a new window or tab. I know that this is bad practice, but customer is the customer. Please provide the best course of action. 95% of docs
will be PDFs and can not use client application as the means of opening. Appreciate your help and easiest, simplest solution.

Opening documents in separate (non-tabbed) windows

sorry about this simplistic question, but, how can documents be opened into their own separate window panes? Currently I have to drag each tabbed window out into empty space to establish a newly opened document in a separate window....can such a workflow be set as a default open file procedure?
thanks

You might try resetting your prefs by launching Photoshop with command-option-shift pressed while you open PS. Confirm that you'd like your prefs reset. Then adjust them as Steve described (you might check off "enable floating doc window docking" for good measure) and see if this helps. If you're concerned about losing any vital prefs (not color setting, not actions, not brushes), you can Google where the pref files reside and make a duplicate before resetting them.
I just revisited this and I'll bet he's dragging them into the application frame directly, as opposed to the app icon. In this case, I think he's SOL. And it seems to me he wants his cake for eating. Application frame but separate windows? Sheesh.

Open project document in separate window.

Hellow!
I use solutiom manager to support project documentation.
When I open document for editing it is opened in the same window (right side). And if doc type is word, it is hard to work because only part of window is used for text.
If I attach document in customizing tab it is opened for edeting in separate window! It is very comfortable.
Could I make solution manger open docs in separate windows from project docs tab?

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

How to open links in same window, another tab (by default)?

I think the users have been asking this question for more than two years. Is there a way to open links in the same tab automatically? Its annoying when I am using apple products and have to click three times for a task that is easily made with a single click in other products (chrome, firefox....).

Hi ...
Not in the same tab but a new one yes. Command + click
Check the Safari Extensions gallery...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari - Extensions.
Try the Productivity category.

Open word document in web browser

i need to open the word document using activex web browser. just like windows 7 shows the preview panel.
any body know this?

Hi Rick,
Did this issue occur with all the files?
If yes, I recommend to verify the things below:
Check if the Office Web Apps feature is activated on the site collection.
Check if the Office Web Apps service applications and proxies have been created.
Check if the Office Web Apps service applications and proxies are associated with the proxy group of the Web application that the site collection belongs to.
Check if the service account permissions for the Web application and the Office Web Apps services are appropriate.

Using PC to open up documents via Phone Browser - ...

I naturally assumed I could dbl-click on a document in Phone Browser, open it up in Word, edit it, and save it back to the phone. I was very surprised when the document opens up in Read-Only mode! Surely this can't be right, and I'm doing something wrong - how do I open up a document on the phone, but using my PC? I'm connnected to the phone via Bluetooth...

I do not have 9300i any longer, but if you first move the file to another folder in PC (Suite will ask for "would you like to convert" if I remember right), can you edit it normally after that ?

How to open a link in a different browser tab.

Hi all.
I have this simple requirement:
- Create a link on a page with several options (some page within application, others, URL link).
- Want to automatically open a new tab on browser when users clicks on any link (without having to right click on it).
Is that possible?. If there a property, default behaviour to set?.
Thanks in advance ....!

Okay, it is a list region though
You just need to edit the list template and change the list template current and list template non current to add the attribute i mentioned above
Existing
<a href="#LINK#">
Change to
<a href="#LINK#" target="_blank">

Is there someone who can tell me how to change this.

Thunderbird did it's part. it handed the URL to Firefox.
You control how Firefox behaves in the options of Firefox.

Problem opening html file in separate browser window

I have an forms app where a user can download a file from the database and then open that file on the client. After the file is downloaded, I use webutil_host.nonblocking ('cmd /s start' ||filename) and it works fine for .doc, .xls etc. as these open a separate program. Problem occurs when user downloads an html file, the command opens the file in the same browser window as forms is running, thus ending the forms session.
I've tried web.show_document('file:\\'||filename) but that fails as I assume it is looking for the file on the application server instead of on the client.
Any ideas on how to workaround this issue?

Well I searched around on google looking for a java servlet or jsp example and couldn't find one. I know they are out there becasue thats where I got mine about a year ago. I dont work at the same place anymore and couldnt take my code with me. Anyway, you would use this servlet for any document (xls, doc, html, txt, pdf) that is in the blob column in the db. The servlet would send a mime type first in the response and then the blob. The browser would display the blob in the associated helper application on the client (Excel, Word, IE, notpad, Adobe Acrobat Reader, etc..). The user can then save the document to their hard drive if they wish. This is faster becasue the clients hard drive isnt involved in the transfer from db to client. The user can then edit the document and reupload the document. Thats how we did it.
Maybe somebody else can post a link to a generic blob download servlet? Thanks..

Problem with opening link in the Avant Browser

The Avant browser, even with flash enabled, isn't
successfully opening the link inside the email notification message
one constructs inside the Share file(e.g., the link to:
www.share.acrobat.com/**********). I get to the URL but the flash
doesn't activate that would take me to the document's download
page.
All-in-all, this is going to be a nice Web app.

I have the same problem - shocked that this hasn't been addressed by Adobe or Microsoft. It began with recent updates. Adobe Reader will not open a .pdf file on the web. I sometimes get the following dialog but mostly I get a blank screen with "Done" in the status bar.
If I open a .pdf from my hard drive I get a message about protected mode. If I click on the link in the message, I get Adobe instructions about turning off protected mode - but it is already turned off. If i cancel that message i can open a local .pdf.

Open Link in new Window or Tab

Hi

Some browsers like Mozilla automatically open HTML A tag in a new window or tab depend on the browser's config so the target attribute is redundant- but you'll probably need the attribute for browsers that can't. You'll have to think in terms of your app support for the available web browsers out there.

Firefox keeps opening links as well as new tab

While browsing, if I long-click a hyperlink and select "Open in a new tab" from the ensuing menu, even though it opens the tab it also follows the hyperlink in the original tab. How do I prevent it from opening the link in my current tab?

Sorry, this seems to be an issue on some pages that have scripts connected to the links. The workaround in an earlier thread (for Gizmodo) was to slide your finger down a line or two after the menu appears so that when you lift your finger it is not on any link.
