Is it possible to add a button that will open an attachment to a specific page in its own window?

I have two PDFs generated from Framemaker.

PDF1 is a user's guide.

PDF2 is a test plan document.

I want to include the possibility for the reader in PDF2, open the guide of the user to a specific page (topic) if they need to access detailed information about a test item.

In order to ensure that the PDF2 player has the user's guide, I thought I want to implement an attachment under PDF2 PDF1.

By browsing the ' net, I found that I can add a 'link' (rectangular clickable area) on PDF2 which, when clicked, will open PDF1 in its own window to a specified page number. GREAT!

But... what I want to do is to place a * key * on the PDF2 (with a tag) who will perform this task (open PDF1 to a specified page in its own window). However, I am getting lost and does not know how to do this (or if this can be done at all).

Pointers would be appreciated :-)

Thank you.

John

Then... I thought about it (of course, * after * post the question.) Sigh) and given that the post is now here forever, I thought I should share my solution, for what it's worth.

In PDF2, with PDF1 included as an attachment:

  1. Rich Media > Add button.
  2. Button to place on the page.
  3. Open the properties of the button (double click or right click > properties).
  4. Click the Actions tab.
  5. Select the Action, select go to a page view.
  6. Click Add...
    (This opens her create go to view dialog box.)
  7. Double-click on the attachment (PDF1).
  8. In the attachment, scroll to the desired page.
  9. In create go to view dialog box, click on connect.
  10. In the Properties dialog box, click Close.
  11. Reopen the Properties dialog box, go to the Actions.
  12. In the action pane, click "Go to a page in another document" (the action that I had set earlier).
  13. Click on change.
  14. In the target Document section, select 'New window' field.
  15. Click OK.
  16. Click Close.

  • Is it possible to have a button that will insert a line of table rather than add at the end?

    I have a button Add line that works correctly using addinstance, but I would like to have the line button Add at the end of each line, if a user can insert a line in the middle of the existing/fiilled of lines.  Is this possible?  I would like to be able to do this using Formcalc because that's what my script in the form currently complies.

    Hello

    Yes, it is possible, but actually doing just that the script is to add a new line at the end of the table AND then move the line to the appropriate position.

    See examples here: http://assure.ly/gk8Q7a. Table 5 is a Table object, while table 6 is constructed using subforms. In both cases, the Index number is a button, which adds a line below the existing one clicked.

    See who helps me to,.

  • Can I add a button next to the bar of address (such as the Home key) that will open a new tab?

    In Firefox 3, there was a button that would open up a new tab. This button was close to my address (next to the home, refresh, buttons etc.) bar and can also be used when I had no open tag (unlike the + on the tabbar, who is only there when I turn on my tabbar).
    Although there is a button I can add that will open a new window, I would like to know if it is possible to have a similar button that will open a new tab.

    There is a button tab in the Customize Palette, simply move it to a location of your choice.

  • is it possible to write a script that will display the script files folder in the tree

    is it possible to write a script that will display the script files folder in the tree

    Yes :-)

    In your previous post, someone suggested to search for the file "SnpCreateTreeview.jsx", because it would just be the asked.

    The script can be found here, just accept the EULA and download the example scripts of Bridge CS3. (For some reason it is not in CS4 samples because as far as I know)

    Here's a version with small changes, it is up to you to point the script in the folder 'root' right, because this is, needless to C: on PC:

    3. Check the JavaScript Console to see the events captured by the elements of the TreeView.
       

    Description


     
     

    Creates two hierarchical list of TreeView items. One is static, with a fixed set of point
    nodes that you can expand and collapse. The other is dynamic; Item nodes are added and removed as
    the need for a view of the file system.
     
     

    The list items in the TreeView control to display the folders and files custom images.  When you add items to the
    TreeView list, type 'article' is used for elements of the leaf and 'node' to the elements of the container.
     
     

    Dynamic TreeView captures events in two different ways. It uses callback functions to capture the
    node to expand and collapse events and selection changes and also registers an event listener to
    capture double-click events.

    I work with a third-party provider that adds agricultural markets that will update every 10 minutes on my site of muse. I'm a designer by trade, and they are the html code. They have problems with my original design elements being pushed around when they add the js include. They recommend at this time that I use another program like Wordpress, but I won't do that, because a large part of the site is designed and just add the markets. Here is the link to the site. At this point, the home page is the question. I can also provide a screen shot of how markets are supposed to look like

    This part does not seem too difficult.

    I bet they are now trying to "knit" their share of data right in your Muse- generated page, and they tell you that your code is terrible (and their smells like daisies). The usual clash...

    But it might be easier for you (and many others) if they offer their content as a separate page of small, so you can incorporate it as an iframe tag in an HTML object in Muse. No matter what code for permission to host the iframe, could be inserted as a simple script in Panel of Options of Page of Muse.

  • With the help of the command of hypertext to link that will open a file

    Thank you!

    Create a marker of Hypertext newe "Go to URL".

    Change the text of the marker for example:

    This will open the folder C:\users with Windows Explorer.

    At least it worked on my PC.

  • Is there a tip action that will open and close the table of contents?

    I like that in CP5, Adobe has allowed users to change the icon associated with opening and closing of a Table of contents in layers.  Having said that, unfortunately, they show if small, I don't see what I created.  So, I was wondering, is there an advanced action or an action script that I could assign to a button that will allow my users open/close the table of contents?

    Thoughts?

  • How to add a button that is * in * the region of the graph.

    Hello

    I am on 4.2.4 and just try to add a button. I tried a region and a button among the elements of the region. It is on a line by itself above (button region) or up or down, but still it's own line.

    I'm trying to make it look better by placing it just below the legend or the right of the legend. Basically a lot tighter than it is currently.

    In an effort to try to see where the model would put the buttons and optionally customize, I went looking for the model. I don't see the pattern of region of graph... Why does. But this is only a secondary issue.

    My main thing is how can I get this button tighter looking like it belongs to the region?

    Thank you

    Tim

    I have NOT think that you can build in the graph area "since AnyChart built this region and the APEX is simply create a region so that it appears in..."

  • Is it possible to create a button that goes back to the previous page?

    I would like to create a button that is located within an interactive pdf page which, when a click, turn to my previously visited page.

    As the page can be accessed through many other pages the traditional built in action menu does not Execute.

    The page that will appear (at the click of a button) is a variety of sizes of mattresses that I want to be accessible by each bed product in our collection. Once the user has looked at the mattress size guide, I want them to be able to back to bed product they were looking for, without having to then do scroll and search.

  • How can I make a button that will move the mail that I consult to a specific folder?

    I'm moving to Eudora, where I had several buttons that I had added to top to move e-mails in specific folders, such as invoices, orders, Support, etc. I see that I can customize the top bar in Thunderbird, but I can't seem to find a way to make buttons to automate the movement of e-mails in specific folders. Is there a way to do them in this program?

  • You can create a button that will go to several key frames?

    Hi, I'm doing an rpg style character select interfaces.  What I'm trying to do is very similar to the image below. How to create a button like the stats, equipment and supplies that will each show a different image or text depending on the character you choose. If noone played this game facebook before wonder, if you choose, for example, Ironman, the buttons on the right then go stats, bio and the train. Each character will show a different bio when we click on the button of bio. Make a different screen for each character with the same layout of the buttons in the same place? I think I've just answered my own question but I want to assure you that it is possible. Each portrait of character, his stats, bio and gear is on its own layer and have the buttons go to these specific key frames? Thank you

    While you could create a different screen for each, a better way to do it is by a form of database.  Buttons cause the functions to be performed and functions use data resources account required to choices that are put in place.

    So if find you a particular character, a variable is assigned a value which indicates that.  This variable is then used to retrieve the data associated with the character and build the screen elements related to the options of this character.

  • How to add a BUTTON in the form of a report in report Page last column

    Hi friends,

    I created a form with Page report. Now, I want to ADD a button in the last column named Add in the last column of the Report.that would be a new column added to the report.

    How can I add a button to the form with Page report in the report and tell me how PK as ORDER_ID of a particular LINE with this button to add a reference ELEMENT.
    When I click on the button Add ELEMENT, then command to go to the next Page with ORDER_ID.


    How can I do that.


    Thank you

    Hello

    Modify your report and click the report attributes. On the right under 'Tasks' is "Add the link in the column" - click that. This creates a new column. Scroll down to the links section of this new column and add in the following:

    Link text: Add article
    Target: Page in the present application
    Page: (enter the number of the form page)
    Clear the Cache: (enter the number of the form page)
    Point 1 (name): (enter or select the name of the element of the form for the primary key page - for example, P2_ORDER_ID)
    Point 1 (value): (enter or select #ORDER_ID #-which should be the ORDER_ID column on the table for the report)

    Click on apply changes to save and run the report

    This creates a normal hyperlink in the column - each line will have a different value of ORDER_ID, so every link will be slightly different. If you want to make the link look like a button, you can do it with style if necessary

  • Add a button to print with Java Script to print different Pages differently

    Hello

    I'm doing a form and most is done and now I want to be able to print two pages but on different printers, I have one that must be printed on a standard A4 printer and another who needs to go to a label printer. I have two names for printers and I tried something, but he just never did anything (this is suggested by adobe I think?)

    pp var = this.getPRintParam ();

    var printamount = this.getValue ("Quantity_Boxes");

    pp.printerName = "Zebra ZTC GK420t Technologies";

    pp.firstPage = 3;

    pp.lastPage = 3;

    pp. NumCopies = 2 * printamount;

    This.Print ();

    I tried without the first and last page and nothing happens, I use a shared printer that works when I do cmd + P, which is the name of the printer complete iMac of Zebra Technologies ZTC GK420t @ user. (I tried also to put the full name in aswell)

    This is just to test a page so far but there at - there no way that a single button will be able to print 2 different pages for 2 different printers?

    If anyone knows how this would be a great help!

    Thank you
