Hi, I'm using this way to set the property new window? please help. If wrong please correct it.

PDDoc myPDDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(avDoc);
AVPageView myPageView = AVDocGetPageView(AVDocFromPDDoc(myPDDoc));
PDViewDestination pdvDes = AVPageViewToViewDest(myPageView,ASAtomFromString("XYZ"),myPDDoc);
Create a PDAction objectPDAction myAction = PDActionNewFromDest(myPDDoc, pdvDes, myPDDoc);

CosDoc cosDoc = PDDocGetCosDoc(myPDDoc);
CosObj cosDisctAction = PDActionGetCosObj(myAction);
CosDictPut(cosDisctAction, ASAtomFromString("New window"), CosNewBoolean(cosDoc, FALSE,TRUE));
//Attach an action to the bookmark
PDBookmarkSetAction(aBookmark, myAction);

It seems you are guessing. There would almost never be a space in an atom string. There's no need to guess. As I said, this is in the PDF Reference. Here is Adobe's PDF 1.7 reference https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference_archive/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf See page 655.

But you have another problem too. This option is only on a Remote Go-To action. You are not creating a Remote Go-to action. Your example is trying to set this on a link to page in the same document, but it's only available on links to another document (since only then is there the possibility of having two different documents, one in a new window). Also note that this is largely ignored by PDF viewers (though not by Acrobat Reader).
