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

I use the links tool in Acrobat 5.05 to create links in my pdf to other sites, not documents. When the pdf file is displayed online, I need these links to open in a new window. Now, they open in the same window, which submits the Viewer to using the back button to return to the original pdf and waiting so he could fully recharge. It is a sizeable pdf file, which makes a lot of your time. I tried unchecking the option on 'Cross Document links in same window', but tests indicated that there was no difference.

If you need more information to clarify my question, please just ask. Suggestions regarding the solve this will be appreciated.

My apologies if a similar question has already been asked to answer. I have not found the reference to it in my search.

Thank you.

You can use JavaScript to do this. For example:

app.launchURL ("http://www.adobe.com", true);

More info is Acrobat JavaScript reference. Note that this method is new in Acrobat 7. You can still use Acrobat 5 to create the JavaScript code, but it won't work for less than 7 versions, or most of the users of non Adobe PDF viewers. If you follow this path, you should add code that checks the version of Acrobat (reader) and just run the code above, if 7 or higher.
