PDF to b opened in a new window or in a download frame

when using hyperlink in iweb pdf file is opening in the same window. how can i make so the file is opening either in a new window or in a "save as" frame?

If you upload the pdf file to the server manually and then link to it via the Inspector/Hyperlink pane with the Link to option An External Page (with the checkbox to open in a new window selected) you can have the pdf file open in a new window where it can be viewed or downloaded.
Click to view full size
This demo page has an example of that: LinkTestPage . Look for the text box with the following text: This text box is linked to view/download a pdf file". Click on it to view. In the view window there is a download button (second from left).

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?

Try this, using JavaScript:
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com",true);

Clicking "open image in new window" on a jpeg downloads the image

If I click on "open image in new window" or paste an image address directly in as the url, Safari sometimes downloads that image and sometimes displays the image directly in the browser.
Why? I'd like to always have it display directly in the browser.
eg:
1) this image is displayed in the browser
http://images.apple.com/home/2008/images/promoleopard20080108.jpg
2) this image is downloaded
http://image.wink.com/i/d60210c3_d2lua19wcm9maWxlOmRjODM3YjIxN2E2NDVkMjQ2MDAyYmRjY2JlODIxZGIy_96f96ffffff00.jpg

Hi,
At a total guess, the webserver at image.wink.com is incorrectly identifying the images as something other than an image file. If they claim it's a binary file for example, then Safari will treat it like any other file you would normally wish to download.

Please help: Linking from PDF to other PDF's that open in a new window... but NOT in full screen mode!?

Hi All,
I have a project where a PDF is viewed in full screen mode when opened, from within this I wish to link to a variety of other PDF's.
Creating the links is simple, however I can not work out how to control the new window so that the new PDF opens with the toolbars and menus, ie not in full screen mode.
Any help would be apreciated, google is not my friend on this one.
LB.

Hi Thanks for the response.
I thought I had, but what seemed to be happening was that the Linked PDF was
adopting the full screen property of the original PDF. I'll give it another
go and let you know.

Have you tried setting the initiall view properties of those PDFs to what
you want? Go File>Properties>Initial View.

Links to files doesn't open in a new window

I've noticed that links (that refers to a specific file) created in Adobe Indesign doesn't open in a new window like the links that refers to a website when I autoconverts it in Acrobat Pro X.
Example:
LINK1: http://www.acrobat.com/testfile.pdf <--- does not open in a new window when clicked
LINK2: http://www.acrobat.com/testfolder <--- opens in a new window when clicked
Are there any way to fix this?
Will the same problem occur if I create the links in Acrobat instead?
I'm asking this because I don't want the form to disappear when the links are clicked.
Best,
Mikey

Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
"Open search results in a new browser window"
I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
Does it make any difference?

Acrobat Pro 7: right click option to Open in a New Window

Hello,
We are using Adobe Acrobat Pro v7, and we oftentimes like to view PDFs in separate windows. To do this, the first file can be openeb by double clicking thefile in Explorer, and for subsequent files, we just right click on the PDF and select Open in a New Window. This works perfectly fine; however, not everyone has the right click option to Open in a New Window. The DO have the same version of Acrobat, but just not this functionality. How do we go about getting this right click context added for the others? Thanks.

Yes. Everyone is on Windows XP SP2.

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...

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.

Interactive PDF, open file in new window.

Hello everyone,
I was unable to find this on the net or I could be using the wrong typed search. Created a successful interactive document. I attached a portfolio to this interactive document. I have 3 images. Two are hyperlinked to specific urls which work just fine. I have a sample button which opens the pdf. The only problem I have is that the pdf open in the current pdf window of the past file, so one has to reopen the original file again to access it. I could create a button on the portfolio webpage to go back to the original document, but that would be 20 buttons.
Is there a way for someone to click on the sample button, but open up a new window like you would for a webpage?
Right now the setup in the Buttons and Forms window:
Sample button
Type: button
Name: Sample
Event: On Release or Tap
Open File - Checked
Select File: current path
PDF Options
Description: Portfolio Samples
Printable - Checked.
That is pretty much it.

Not everything can be done in InDesign when it comes to interactivity and forms. I believe you have to use a JavaScript in Acrobat to get the file to open in a new window. I can't provide you a specific reference. Ask on the Acrobat forums.

Is there a way to make links automatically open in a new window / new tab when viewing the PDF online

Hi there,
Currently we are adjusting our PDF files at our company, in order to make them more "user-friendly".
We are looking for a way, when our customers view the PDFs online, that the URL that is in the PDF, when clicked on, will automatically open in a new window, instead of opening the URL in the same window as the PDF is opened..
Could some-one please help me this?
regards,

It worked for me. See the source of my example at (PDF link to open in new window). (Sorry, that is the default title of the test page.)

PDF link that will open in a new window.

Is there a way to link to a PDF file so that it will open in a new window. The same way that a link to an external page can do. Can I put it in iDisk and do it that way.

1. Create a folder in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder.
2. Name it something like 'files' or whatever
3. Copy your .pdf or any other file to that folder
4. web.mac.com/username/nameofthefolder/nameofthefile.extension is the address at which the file will be stored on the web
Example: http://web.mac.com/username/files/nameofthefile.pdf
Put this url as Link to: an external page (changing username and name of the file).
It should work with open in a new window.
Regards,
Cédric

How can I set web links to open in a new window?

I'm using the links tool in Acrobat 5.05 to create links in my pdf to other websites, not documents. When the pdf is posted online, I need those links to open in a new window. Now they open in the same window, which subjects the viewer to using the back button to return to the originating pdf and waiting for it to completely reload. This is a sizeable pdf file, making that very time consuming. I tried Un-checking the option about "Open Cross Document Links in Same Window" but tests indicated that it made no difference.
If you need more info to clarify my question, please just ask. Any suggestions in regard to solving this will be appreciated.
My apologies if a similar question has already been asked/answered. I did not find reference to it in my search.
Thank you.

You can use JavaScript for this. For example:
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com", true);
More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference. Note that this method is new to Acrobat 7. You can still use Acrobat 5 to create the JavaScript, but it won't work for versions less than 7, or for most users of non-Adobe PDF viewers. If you go this route, you should add some code that checks the version of Acrobat (Reader), and only execute the above code if 7 or above.
