PDF's open in seperate windows!

Please help............ my machine is running windows 2000 with version 8.1.2 of Adober Reader. Whenever I open a PDF file then Adobe opens but goes through all the other PDF's that I have ever opened and puts them all in seperate windows. As you can imagine, this is both annoying and disruptive..........please help! :-)

PDF files are supposed to open in separate windows in Reader 8 (by
default, you can turn this off). But it doesn't reopen anything, at
least not when it is working properly.
I'm guess that what is happening here is that you never closed the
other PDF files, so they are still open. You can check this by looking
in the Window menu - open PDFs are listed at the end.

Thanks, but this is a problem that began immediately after I installed 9.0.1
this week...I haven't changed any settings that would cause this.

How get hyperlinks to PDFs to open in separate window?

I have a very large Microsoft Word 2007 document containing lots of hyperlinks that I create a PDF from, that I must re-create from time to time due to editing changes. To save the trouble of re-entering all its hyperlinks (to other PDFs) every time I re-build the main PDF (with my resulting tendency to overlook some of them), I would like to embed them into Word ahead of time. The problem is, when I do so, the links in the resulting PDF always open in the main document, wiping out what was there.
My main PDF contains instructions for how to install the Previous View button but the likelihood is many or most users will not notice them, with the result that when they go to one of the linked PDFs they have no way to return to the main document.
Previously, I have been building these hyperlinks after the PDF is created, and as you know, that gives me the option to tell Acrobat that I want the linked PDF to open in its own window. Is there any way I can instruct the automatic PDF-building process from Word to do that instead of its default behavior of always opening them within the main document?
I get the same result whether I build the PDF by loading the Word docx into Acrobat, or using the Create PDF button from within Word.
Thanks for your help.

P.S. One obvious solution would be to build links back to the main document from the smaller PDFs themselves, but that idea is completely out since it's too late for me to re-build all the smaller PDFs now. Aside from the deadline I'm working under, every one of them contains gobs of links to media files that must be re-added one by one, going through the whole set of Acrobat dialogs for choosing their parameters, which are always the same. So far all my requests to Adobe to add a default video media parameters capability have not led to this being done.

Thanks so much for pointing me to the right place. As it turned out, the deadline I'm under to get this book ready meant I had to go ahead and insert the links to its external PDFs by hand for this version, although I plan to learn about javascript for future versions of the book, which will definitely occur.
I used to be a web page programmer, so I'm quite familiar with javascript itself. Now what I mainly need will be to understand its object model in Acrobat, and the interface to it from inside Acrobat.
What I pray fervently for (but doubt I will find it there) is javascript code to set the parameters of all embedded videos, of which I have over 100, and must go through a laborious series of dialogs to set the parameters for each and every one individually! (or more likely, a function I could write that would be passed an identity code for each video clip in turn.)

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...

Can't get pdf to open in lyteframe window

I am using lytebox in my updated website, and one of the lyteframe boxes was to open and frame a pdf file. I had it working in IE, but couldn't get it to work in firefox. It was always forcing me to save the file and wouldn't let me open it.
I gave up on FF and redownloaded Reader 9 to see if I could get it fixed. I still couldn't get the pdf to open inside the frame in FF, but at least it opens in a new window now. Unfortunately now I can't get it to open inside the frame in IE. The javascript works and a frame opens up, but as soon as it opens, the pdf opens in a new window, leaving a blank, white filled empty frame below.
In Reader I have "display PDF in browser" selected, and in IE I have "reuse windows for launching shortcuts" selected in the advanced options settings selected. I don't know what else to do. I have deleted and reinstalled Reader 9, and I still have the same problem, and I also reset IE7 in case it was the problem. It still keeps doing the same thing.
If I can't get this fixed, I'm just going to switch it to html text with a pdf link at the bottom to print, but I would much prefer to just have it link to the original pdf.
thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

You might look at the following somewhat related thread to see if any of the solutions work for you.

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.

Link to URL -- pdf should open in new window - Error

Hi experts,
I have a Web Dynpro Application with an ALV and a link to url in one column. The code is ok. It works fine. When I click on the URL a new browser window opens with the correct URL, but I get an Error --> "The requested URL could not be retrieved".
It should be a pdf. But Acrobat Reader does not open. If I put the URL in Firefox Browser, it works perfect. Acrobat Reader opens and shows the pdf.
The same happens when I use Windows 2000 System with Internet Explorer version 6.0.2800.1106.
I have normally Windows XP with Internet Explorer version 6.0.2900.2180 with sp2.
What can that be? On both computers I have the same version of Acrobat Reader with the same configuration.
Had someone of you this problem, too? Who can help?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Ingmar

I answered it myself. I had to look that for the called server no proxyserver will be used...

Any Function in a PDF form opens a different window of the same form

Hello,
I have a customer who uses forms pulled from our company's SharePoint site. Within the form there is an "Open" button that she clicks on which opens a window within Adobe Pro to the location on our SharePoint site that stores her completed PDF forms. In SharePoint, there is a "copy" option which obviously creates a copy of the selected form into the storage location. The issue is, that when she clicks on copy, another window to the same storage location opens, this time in her web browser. In the past she would click on "copy" and, from within Adobe Pro, the page would simply update and show the copy of the document.
Additionally, when she clicks on any function or button from within the document a new version of the same document reopens in a different window. By the time she's completed working on a form she has roughly 6 or 7 windows open.
Any help would be appreciated.

I forgot to mention that she is running Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 on a Windows 7 64Bit machine.

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..?

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?

Printing pdf without opening new browser window

Hi,
How can i print (locally) multiple pdf generated on the server without having to open acrobat in the browser ?

Same here.
Worked fine under IE5.x to IE6, JRE 1.3.x to 1.4. OS used were W2k and WinXP, no prob here.
Now on some PCs the windows don't pop up anymore. No exception, no indicator of what's going wrong.
Any hints?

How do I stop firefox from opening a seperate window whenever I click on a link to log into a different website with my social network account?

Whenever I try to log into a website (i.e. King of the Web.com,etc.) with my facebook account, a new window will appear behind my current window and when I click on it, it never shows up even when I minimize the current website, how do I get the new window to show so I can log in and vote for Tre Melvin? (P.S. vote for Tre!)

I think Facebook uses its facebook.net domain for this function. When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
Right-click this page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the search box at the top of that dialog, change the domain to facebook.net and remove the site's cookies.
Then try using the login with FB feature again. Does it work?

Opening in Seperate window

I think you can uncheck the "use native fullscreen mode" somewhere in VLC's preferences.

How can I call the Class and have a PDF appear in seperate window?.

I would like to call the class/interface ZCL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT2, method Collect_data and have a Smartform executed to produce a PDF document in a Seperate window.
Where I have an issue is in opening another window to display the PDF.
I know the Standard PDF Facsheet does exactly this, but that is triggered via the Web browser and calls a Java script, avoiding and events and round-server trip processing. I would have changed the button values so that when pressed it does process the various events and eventually ends up at EH_ONPREVIEW for the BP_HEAD/Overview. I know just need to open a new window and call the process to create the PDF via Smartform.
Any suggestions would be more than welcome. I have spent so much time on this, and have gained no real ground, so far.
