How to force links to open in a new browser window/tab?

I'm repeating this question here since I'm jamming and hope that a broader approach will help with an answer as soon as possible.

I created an interactive PDF with internal and external links (URL). When the PDF file is downloaded and seen leaving in a browser, any external link opens in the same window. It is boring and forces a lot of button rear-ing. Is it possible to add an action or a script to force the document to open external links to URLS in a new window or tab?

Thank you!

Hi pliers,

I think that the steps outlined in this forum thread can do the trick for you: new window browser for hyperlinks on PDF created in In Design

While the question was asked about InDesign, the steps that are listed in the lower part are are in Acrobat.

Please let know how it goes.

Best,

Sara

  • How to set up a html link to open in a new window outside the PDF?

    I did a lot of research and can't find an answer to this dilemma. I create press releases for my employer's Web site in InDesign, and then export to PDF format. They appear as icons on the "news page" of our site, that the user clicks to open and read. Each PR links to different pages on our site, but I want that these links to open in a new browser window so that the user can still read the PR. I understand that this option is not available in InDesign PDF export, but I can change the link in Acrobat X, then save again? If so, how?

    Thanks for your help.

    You have more than one action associated with the binding? If you just add the JavaScript action and did not remove the pre-existing action "open a web link", you will get what you see. Also, what browser are you using?

  • I would like to have web links automatically open in a new tab. How to make this happen?

    1. when I open Firefox I set it up my gmail page automatically opens. When I want to go on another site a new tab does not open but replace my gmail tab. So I have to use 'back' or 'story' to return to the gmail page. This becomes difficult when I was surfing the web & then have to go back "" across many web pages. I wish that every webpage to open in its own tab. How can I do this?

    2. in addition, in the google help center he said: 'If you want to open a link in a new tab instead, just right click on the link and select Open link in a new tab from the context menu." I tried this & the ' Open link in New Tab ' did not appear in the menu. Can you help me find this menu?

    If you use Ctrl + left click or middle-click on a link then the link should open in a new tab.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • 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.

    I need to launch in a new browser window.

    I put the link to 'new window to launch' in Word, the origin of this file.

    I also opened and resaved it in Acrobat 10 with preference 'Open links in the same interdocument window"deselected.

    None of these settings have changes the behavior while all the documentation I've read seems to suggest that they should.

    What I'm missing here?

    -Blake

    That the parameter preference does not apply to web links and do not refer to a browser window, but an Acrobat window.

    There is a JavaScript method that might work. Try to set the link for the action to something like the following script:

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

    This was taken from the example here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.150.html

    The problem is that if a user has 10 drive and protected mode is enabled (as it is by default), it does not work and opens the link in the same browser window.

  • Open another site in a new browser window

    I can't create links to external sites that open as expected in a new browser window, the main browser window leaving unaltered. Except in Safari on a Mac. See the code example.

    In Safari on Mac, this opens the new window and behaves as I would. In Safari on a PC, it opens a new window, but in the back. In Firefox on the Mac, I get an error message in which, when the 'OK' button is cliked, a new window opens behind the main window. Same thing on a PC. Opens a new window of Internet Explorer on a PC, but displays an error message forcing you to click the back button to return to the home page.
    If I specify the url of the home page in the link field, the homepage gets reset then upward, that I don't want.
    How can I get FireFox and IE to achieve this graciously?
    To observe the behavior go to http://www.digifon.com/framesetal_id.htm

    Do not use frames. However, the question of opening a new window is always
    hotly debated. My approach is to mark the link with an icon and
    then to open a new window (or tab if the user prefers). If done
    correctly with javascript, this will not result in a myriad of windows and
    According to the standards. (And besides, if javascript is disabled, the new page
    simply opens in the current window.)

    According to this philosophy, I offer you a DW Extension, which makes the addition of this
    dead simple behavior. Here is an example of a page that uses it to good
    advantage. Despite all the external links and pdf on page links.
    the Extension should only be added once the page, rather than
    Add to each link. Links added to the page AFTER the
    Extension is applied ALSO acted upon, saving time in my
    notice and easy on the user:

  • Hyperlinks open in the same browser window

    Hey Gang!

    How do I create a hyperlink so that it opens in the same browser window and don't keep open a new window each time?

    See you soon!

    Gregory

    Hello

    It's kinda a 'hack', but you can use a Flash movie embedded to have more control over the process of any hyperlink. Basically, you simulate the hyperlink to a button in Flash, but instead of looking like a navigation button, you use the text of your hyperlink. This has the added benefit that you can make the text respond to mouse rollovers and clicks with a color change, something will links in PowerPoint.

    So, assuming you named the instance of your 'button' as myLink_btn, you add some actionscript to the main timeline:

    myLink_btn.onRelease = function () {}
    getURL (" http://my.url.com/index/index.htm","_self");
    }

    You compile your little Flash movie and just embed in your Powerpoint where you want. The student will never see the difference. We use this solution to provide the student a "Printable" presentation version - until we compile the PowerPoint with presenter, allows us to make a pdf Acrobat version and upload it to the Breeze server. On the first page of the presentation is a based on flash "link" to the pdf document, and the student assumes only Breeze is 'print' a copy of the presentation.

    More on getURL: you can have load a window named by replacing '_self' by the name of the window or a new window with "_blank". The getURL command also allows to send javascript commands in the browser that is running the Breeze presentation. If you need to use relative links (if you go to the construction of a stand-alone application on a CD, for example, and you want to link to the pdf documents in a subdirectory), this is the best way to do it, as the presenter did a bad job of conversion of links in PowerPoint. And, as I said, you can have the links "light up" when the mouse user above them, something that connects in PowerPoint will not be.

    But... to say that you have 30 pdf documents on your Breeze server, and you want to make a navigation to a simple page for them. If you are not concerned about LMS data capture, it's MUCH easier to simply create the interface all in a single Flash document and send the student to one - just put all the pdf documents in a folder on the server of the game is to "allow public consultation", and they don't don't even need to log the server to read. :) It is an excellent solution if your company is like mine, where some people have created their own little fiefdom controlling the real web server, and you use Breeze to accommodate all kinds of resources that would normally be available on your intranet. If you say that you want to host a resource on the 'web', you will need to go through them (and what a pleasure a process i.e. - they insist on building everything themselves to justify their budget)... but if its on 'training Breeze sever', they don't care.

    Laughing out loud.

  • Behavior question open new browser window

    I have a site that has a list of names of deceased persons. When a viewer clicks on a name I have a new open browser window which is a page of small specific Memorial for this person. This list is long enough so the viewer must scroll down a ways to get to the bottom. If the viewer clicks on a name down and then close this new browser window, they have to scroll all the way down and find where they left off. This assumes of course, they're going to view the pages of memory for each person. Is there a way to make the "original (with the list of names)" page refreshes to the top of the page? I use and you want to continue using the tables and no layers or styles.

    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Cannot open a new browser window

    I have a few users who have problems connecting to Discoverer on new PCs. They use the Internet Explorerer 8. They are able to get to the login, but when screen connect achieving (or go) they get an error: "cannot open a new browser window. Make sure that you don't have a pop - up disabled for this site".

    Of course the first thing I had to do was disable popups blocker all together. But they still have the error (even when they restart their PC). Other than that, is there something that I miss in how they must configure IE8? I'm personally used to use IE6 at work and do not know much about the setting of configuration for IE8.


    Thank you!

    Check if you have a toolbar (like Yahoo, Google toolbar)
    These toolbars have their own Blocker for pop-up windows.
    You must disable the pop-up blocker also with the blocker IE.

    Thank you
