PDF in browser: launch web page in new window/tab

Good morning all,
Our forms use the hyperlink functionality and the desired result is to have the web page launch in a new browser window, or tab, when viewing the PDF in a browser. When the web page opens in the same window, the form data is lost after hitting the back button to return to the form content.
The current alternative is to use xfa.host.launchURL() function however we're wondering if there is a Preference setting in Reader we could enable/disable instead. Most of the links are text embedded in paragraph so hyperlinks work and look really good.
Changing the internet options of the browser is not an option for us.
Also looked at Reader's Edit | Preferences | Documents | Open Cross-document Links in Same Window which appears quite promising based on the Help's description:
Open Cross-document Links In Same Window
Closes the current document and opens the document being linked to in the same window, minimizing the number of windows open. If the document being linked to is already open in another window, the current document is not closed when you click a link to the open document. If you do not select this option, a new window opens each time you click a link to a different document.
But for some reason I can't explain, the web page still opens in the same window after disabling the cross-document option. So maybe I should rephrase my question and ask if someone knows any reason why option doesn't work?
Thanks much!
Hélène

Hi Hélène,
I don't know of any option to force hyperlink behaviour when the form is opened in a browser.
Have a look at George's suggestion to use a button without fill or border over the text: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1342426#1342426
It is a bit of double handling and you need to maintain the button in the correct position. However it does give you greater control in forcing a new browser window/tab.
The open cross-documents preference didn't work for us either.
When testing forms here we see a big difference in behaviour between different browsers and OS. So while you may get a hyperlink working in IE, the same solution may not work in other browsers. On balance I think overlaying a button would be the most robust.
Good luck,
Niall

Won't open web page in new window

Ever since the 5.0 upgrade when I click on a tab to open in a new window firefox just opens a blank new window. This is driving me crazy. So if I have 5 tabs going and say I want to watch a youtube video on my other monitor while I'm doing something else, I right click on the tab and click on open in new window and i just get a blank window. So I have to copy and paste the address in the new blank window. I am about to switch to google chrome its very inconvenient.
Thanks!

There are some Flash objects on the web page.
* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
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.

Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.

Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in Windows 7, when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?

Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in windows 7, when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?
1. I am not sure whether it is the problem of the graphic hardware, relevant softwares or the system itself.
2. I am not sure whether browsing a webpage with a lot pictures would make the graphic hardware, or other hardwares if possible, massively burdened and then just crash.
3. Or if possible, is the reason that the heat dissipation doesn't work well?
I am looking forward to any replies that might be helpful. Really appreciated.

it could be heat, not enough RAM, but you don't tell us enough.
There is no reason to assume this is anything other than running Windows natively btw.
Browser of course matters probably the most.
I like IE10 now, but use to use FF until recently. I'd like Chrome except for a few concerns I have over using it, it can eat up a lot of RAM and it builds up HUGE disk cache if you don't clear history and cache on exit and run CCleaner regularly ( good for all browsers )
So assuming 64-bit and 4GB or more and core i5 or better...
Also make sure Wiindow has 10GB of free space or more.
Biggest concern is what happens afterwards and whether you have run a check of your hard drive (chkdsk on startup) or if the problem cascades and gets progressively worse on top of the first - like do you have to do hard restart or able to bring up Task Mgr and kill or better yet, Resource Mgr and see if you have any thread locks.
Safari is not well versed in multithreading and handling what you want to do and are doing. IE9 isi usually good but I found it could not handle a lot of tumblr photo streams and sites. Try Chrome. With Firefox, use noscript, blashblock and see how it goes.

Transaction launcher: open URL in new window

Dear all,
I know many threads have already been posted about "stateful URL" created with transaction launcher, that open a new browser window AND navigate to an empty screen with the following text (which is more than useless):
"The requested page has been opened in a new window, please press back button to go back to the last page."
Carsteen gave some useful hints already in the following thread:
Transaction Launcher in a new window
But maybe someone found something new since then... At the moment I'm thinking about "simulating" a clic on the BACK button (like mentioned in this useless message), with something like :
DATA:
history TYPE REF TO if_bsp_wd_history_manager_disp.
history = view_manager->get_history_manager_display( ).
history->go_back( ).
Any better idea ?
Thanks & regards,
Nicolas Busson.

Hi Nicolas !
How are you? :-)
I assume that since then you have found a way to fix your issue, but as the post is not answered I can tell you that SAP has taken into account this point in SAP 702 EHP1, with a new attribute in the customizing of the transaction launcher called "Keep Work area" :
Keep Work Area When Opening Launch Transaction in New Window
This indicator defines whether the work area content is kept when you open a launch transaction in a new window.
Use
If this indicator is not set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window loads the base page of the transaction launcher into the work area.
If this indicator is set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window keeps its current content in the work area.
Dependencies
This indicator is only evaluated if you have also set the indicator for using a new window.

Transaction launcher for url in new window need "Back" to continue working

Hello Experts,
In the CRM I've created a Transaction Launcher for url, when I press on the link and open it in new window
I got the following message: "The object you have selected is starting in a new browser window. You can continue working normally in the current application. However, you may have to navigate back to the page you were working on. "
how do I can still open the url ( which is BSP page) in new window & can continue working with CRM without clicking on the Back button ?
Thanks

Have you solved the problem, Jamil?
Hi Experts,
I am also facing the same problem.
The other possible solution I am thinking of calling the pop up window and then close the pop up.
I don't know how can we call custom bsp page from view in pop up window. And then close the same pop up without asking user to click on any button.
Thanks and Regards,

How can i set up multiple default web pages in one window

I want multiple web pages in one window i.e for example google.com and yahoo.com should open in one window,showing their respective home pages in one window in a rectangular box(in my words).

I presume this is to open multiple home pages, when FireFox launches. This will open one tab per URL, on one browser. To do so...
Go to 'tools' > 'options' > type your URL as such: http://www.google.com|https://www.yahoo.com.
There should be a vertical bar (shift backslash key), between each URL typed.

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 do I open a page in new window using af:commandLink?

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to open the page in a new window on clicking the af:commandLink.
I could use af:goLink, but I cannot as I have to invoke the URL using http POST method. If I use af:goLink, all the parameters will be displayed in the URL. I do not want that.
I have the below code for the commandLink:
<af:commandLink text="Open new window" id="cl199bk"
styleClass="AFRighColLinkText"
action="dialog:openNewWindow"
useWindow="true" windowHeight="400"
windowWidth="800" immediate="true"/>
When I click the commandLink, the page gets opened but in the same window. I have the below controlflow-case in my taskflow:
<control-flow-case id="__71">
<from-outcome id="__133">dialog:openNewWindow</from-outcome>
<to-activity-id id="__72">openNewWindow</to-activity-id>
</control-flow-case>
Please let me know what to do to have the page opened in new window/tab.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Frank,
I tried that too and the page always opened in the same page even with dialog:action set and useWindow set to true. I had the navigation rule in adfc-config as well.
I got it done using the url-view activity.
I have created a new bounded task flow with the url-view activity as the default activity. I called this new task flow from the actionListener bean method on commandLink. Set the new task flow to url-invoke-allowed.
I have my parameters set in the url-view activity. With this the parameters are not shown in the URL.
That did the trick for me.
Thanks.

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
Cheers

Open Page in new window from button

I have a button that need to open up a page in new window when clicked. The page it needs to open is dynamic and stored in an item called 'P0_STUDENT_RECORD_LIST'.
I added this to item pre-element text:
<button onclick="javascript:PopupSTUDENT()">
How can I get the function to open the page name stored in the item?
Is there a different method I should use?
function PopupSTUDENT(){ popUp('f?p=&APP_ID.:DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME:&SESSION.::NO:::');}

how about this:
function PopupStudent()
javascript:window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:&DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME.:&SESSION.::NO.:::','Popup','width=800,height=500,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');

How Can I Open Page In New Window when I press In Command button or link??
Thank You.

Hi,
You have to set the "useWindow" property on the button to "true", and the action must start with "dialog:", like "dialog:action". And, in adfc-config.xml you have to have navigation defined also with "dialog:action".
<af:commandButton text="Button"
         action="dialog:action"
         useWindow="true">
