PDF links - open in new window

I have a PDF document that has web links that were created in InDesign, then exported as a PDF. Once in the PDF, the links are fine but I would like for a new browser window to open when they are clicked rather than within the same browser window. I can't seem to find this in the preferences or properties, etc? How do I do this? Thank you!

Is the link an HTML link, or within a PDF? Is it a URL link or a file link?

RoboHelp 10 Skin Navigation Button - Link Open in New Window

I'm using RoboHelp 10 and am trying to get the button in my navigation skin to open a link in a new window. I researched this extensively and have not been able to get it to work. Can you please assist?

Is that link for some external website or some pdf file etc?
When you create a button on a skin and ask it open a file it should do that in the web browser.
If the link is for a website etc then it might give you the following link but you can still open the url in a new window by clicking on 'Open this content in a new window".

Why do links open in new windows, not tabs, even when that option is selected?

Since update to v. 6 and now 7.01, clicking on links opens a new instance of Firefox instead of a new tab. In Tools\Options\Tabs. I have selected "open new window in tab instead" and it has no effect.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the post. Unfortunately, while running in FF in safe mode may be doing the trick and thus implies an extension (though not necessarily), I haven't added any new extensions. So it is likely a problem introduced by FF since v. 6 or so. I suppose it could be that the extensions themselves need updating by their creators.
Regardless it is all very time-consuming and frustrating, especially for something that one would think would be readily fixable.

Links opening in new window instead of new tab

I'm running Safari Windows 4.0.4. I would like to use multiple tabs within one browser window. However, while in one tab, if I click on a link, it opens a new Safari window. I want it to open another tab. I have the "open links from applications" set to open in new tab, however, I can't find a setting for opening a new tab within sarafi itself. I hate that it opens a new window. Anyone point me in the right direction so that it opens a new tab in the same window?

Is there a way, then, that the Safari team could add an option to the General tab that would default the click-on-link behavior to be the same as CTRL-click? I'm certain that adding such a feature would be insanely easy?
Great browser Apple ... really like it; but could you please fix this in a service-pack soon?
Thanks!

Title bar gets squashed when a link opens in new window.

It doesn't happen when i click "open in new window" but only when I click a link that opens in new window automatically. The title bar gets narrower so the tab goes outside the screen. After minimizing and maximizing again it becomes OK. It's the same in "safe mode". I also tried creating a new profile but the problem still exists.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Why does clicking a link open a new window with a spam site on it?

Happens randomly I will click a link that I want open on new tab it opens but a random site will open in a new window. These sites that open are spam sites that I do not want. I have uninstalled deleted firefox and reinstalled it nothing is fixing this issue. My other computer has the same problem. Does not happen all the time its just random sometime i dont even have to click a link and a new window will open with dating sites poker sites just crap I did not want opened.

Recomend getting adblock for firefox.
if you still get unrelated links you should consider scanning for Malware on you computer (this could be an installed program or an extension). I would recommend Malwarebytes as it is somewhat free to use.

HTML Container - pdf-file opens a new window

I use the ITS Webservice PZ04.
There is included a html container who shows the pdf-file inside this area.
Now I have the effect, that this pdf-file will opena a new window, but not inside the html container!?
First action before I have had this effect was the MS question-alert 'How you will open this file' Open/Download/Cancel - you know. - it never done before -
What can I do to open my pdf-file inside the html container? It runs some times.
Thanks!

thank you for your answer, but it wasn't the solution.
I don't open the iView in a new window.
I open the iView (as IAC WebService via ITS) and the applacation generated a html container with pdf file!
And this pdf-file opens in a new window.
The Application runs up to now very good.
I think any value was changed and I don't know which.
It's possible the modification solved under MS or adobe!?
Solution: First Deinstallation and then Installation of Acrobate Reader.

Have PDF links open in new browser window.

Hello. I'm new to creating PDFs with active links. I created a PDF that is linked within a page. When that link is clicked it opens up the PDF in a new window. I want the links in that PDF to open up in a new browser window. Is that possible? I don't see the option in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
I have another question. The links don't work at all in mobile devices. Is there something I have to do to have the links work in an iPad, iPhone, etc?

Is the link an HTML link, or within a PDF? Is it a URL link or a file link?

PDF files open in new window.

Whenever I click the "Open" button in Reader 9, (Windows 7 - 64-bit),
it opens the document in a new instance of Reader, which of course,
makes the menu item "Window" useless. How can I get docs to open
in the same window? I don't see any setting for this in the preferences.

"Make sure the Open new windows in a new tab instead is checked" - it is.
issue still not solved,
ps if you click on a pdf on the above link do you get the same problem or is it just me..?

How do I stop links opening in new windows?

I've created a electronic document using links from Adobe Acrobat 9 pro, I click on the created links to open a new pdf file and then within the
newly opened pdf I've created a go to page view link to take me back to the page within the document I was just in. Everything stays in the existing
window and no new windows open when I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 pro but when I start using Adobe Reader 9 to open the document the functionality
changes, instead of everything opening in the existing window it opens new windows. This only happens on the go to page view link, the open file link
opens it in the same window. How do I stop go to view links stop opening new windows and get it to open in the existing window?

After Firefox has been running a while, every link opens a new window

After Firefox has been running for a while, every link starts opening in a new window. Until today, if I closed Firefox and restarted it, it would stop happening ... until it started happening again. Then today, I closed it down and restarted it, and it was STILL happening. So either I find a solution, or I stop using Firefox on my Mac.
This is a vanilla installation - both for the Mac and Firefox. I don't use the Mac as my main computer. The Mac is running OS X 10.5 8. The problem has existed through many upgrades of Firefox. I always upgrade as requested. This last time, however may have been the killer. A new upgrade was installed right before the problem became unfixable by shutting down and restarting. I'm running Firefox 15.0. I just rebooted, however, and now (for now), it's working properly.
I have no add-ons installed in Firefox.
My only plug-ins are iPhotoPhotocast, QuickTime, SharePoint, and Shockwave Flash.
I've seen multiple reports of this problem on this Web site, but no solutions. Just a generic recommendation to disable add-ons to see which one is conflicting. But I'm running no add-ons. I think there's a bug in Firefox.

If it were an extension or theme or a Mac driver, wouldn't it cause the problem consistently? This only happens after Firefox has been running for a while. I'm using Firefox to type this reply right now, and the problem is not happening.
And it's not because I suddenly start using some offending software. As I said, I don't use the Mac as my main computer. Usually I'll have been using my PC, I'll go back to the Mac to check my email on Firefox, and suddenly the link problem is happening. I only use the Mac to check email on the server before I download it with Outlook (on the PC) so I can delete spam on the server first.

Why does ctrl+Left click a link open a new window? It should open a new tab in the current window.

When I try to Ctrl+Left click to open a link in a new tab, it will open it in a new window instead. Then while in the new window if I Ctrl+Left click a link it will open a new tab in the second window. If I then go back to the first Firefox window and Ctrl+Left click a link the second firefox window will pop up and the new tab will be created there. Why won't the Ctrl+Left click work when only one window is open?

When interactive pdf opens in browser window can the pdf links open in separate windows

Problem is the pdf works ok when it opens in the browser window, BUT the links in the pdf don't open in separate browser windows, as they do when the pdf is downloaded as a file.
If pdf links can only open in separate browser window when the pdf itself opens as a separate file, the how do I email a pdf download link on a website.

Hello Yesh,
you can open PDFs as a guest user (without authentification):
1. Allow Guest Access (Admin -> Security Configuration -> Check "Allow Guest Access" and select a folder name).
2. Copy your Report into this guest folder
3. You can open the Report as PDF with a link like this:
http://(bip-server-name):9704/xmlpserver/(guest-folder-name)/(report-name)/(report-name).xdo?_xpt=0&_xf=pdf&_xmode=4(&report-parameters)
Just replace the strings in brackets. You find a great description of the URL parameters in Tim Dexters Blog
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/07/accessing_xmlp_enterprise_repo.html
I didn't find an option to set the height of the PDF-Output for the guest user in the BIP-UI. Maybe I missed something. But you can manually edit the configuration file. It is located on your BIP server direcory in the subdirectory xmlp/XMLP/Users. Select the guest users subdirectory and edit the configuration file "user~.profile".
In this XML config file there is an entry "viewerHeight". In the Value-Tag you can enter the PDF output windows height in pixel (but unfortunaly not in % - this was the question of my original posting).
Hope that helps...

Every link opens a new window even when this should open a new tab

Lately, whenever I click on a link a new window opens (11 happenings of firefox just to get to this page). In options I have selected open new tab instead of new window. Deselecting or reselecting does not change this. Restarting firefox did not help either. Also for some reason if I click the dot button on the keyboard, I get the greater than sign.

This issue can be caused by an extension or plugin that isn't working properly.
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.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
